The EMR (exam) can be pre-set with default settings and values to assist providers to quickly complete the exam data entry task. Administrators can identify the exam sections required to be completed and enter default values for a given template. The identified sections are highlighted for the provider based on the template used. Each template can have different requirements.
IMPORTANT - Review the "Speeding Up the EMR" section when designing your Templates. Depending how you save your templates may significantly affect the speed of the EMR when opening or closing the exam screen.
