The Terminology Input Manager (TIM) is used to insert descriptive phrase or memo throughout Filopto and the EMR. It acts as a Data/Text Dictionary with customizable Modules/Sections and categories specific to a user or a group of users. You can create as many sections and categories as desired. This permits providers/users to quickly enter common phrases that they commonly use, saving time for the user when entering information into Filopto.
Example, a provider can insert her/his most common exam diagnosis, treatments, etc. to avoid re-entering the information every time. This tool can become a time saver and increase the efficiency of the operation by using standard terminology which is easily accessible via the T.I.M.
New Module/Section: the "Click Here to add a New Module/Section" creates a Module/Section in which a user can enter text or create sub categories. For example a Module/Section could be the name of a user. Then the user would know that his/her text is contained under this section. You could also create a module/section for a specific task to standardize the terminology used in the practice. Hence this module would be common for everyone to use.
New Category: Select the + sign to expand the Module/Section and display the categories. The "Click here to add a new Category" row creates categories for text under a TIM module/section. User can specify when the Category is displayed by default by specifying a Filopto section for the selected Category. For example, if you create a category called "Illness Durations" you can tell TIM to position itself on this category when you are opening the Chief complaint section of the EMR.
Template: is the term, phrase or item you wish to enter when selecting the item.
Used By: permits the administrator to limit the item to specific users or to all users
Important: T.I.M. can enter text and images into any rich text memo based field. |
