Creating Document Templates
Document templates consist of predefined sections or standard text that typically accompany the variable content entered by the medical transcriptionist. They provide a framework of established text, enabling transcriptionists to produce uniform documents tailored to the requirements of the dictating provider.
You can view, edit and create Document Templates in InCommand by navigating to:
InCommand > Client Maintenance > Templates > Document Templates
1. Select the document type on the left.
It is important to note that you can create various templates tailored to specific users and/or locations, particularly if different physicians or sites require distinct headings or document formats.
2. Click the Add/Edit button.
3. Fill in the document template in the editor window that appears.
Notes:
- It is important to avoid directly copying and pasting from an external program into your document type, as this may introduce unwanted formatting tags that will cause the document template to override the print template settings which can cause formatting issues in delivered reports. Instead, you should first copy the content and paste it into Notepad. After that, copy the text from Notepad and paste it into your document type. This process will eliminate any external formatting that may have been transferred.
- DO NOT change the font or style information from the default since this will cause the document template to override the print template setting which can cause formatting issues for the delivered report.
4. Press Save.
MT Notes
Now, when this document type is selected or loaded in InScribe, the template will automatically appear. Transcriptionists can still delete parts of the templates if that is needed. If you want to give them specific instructions on how to handle the document, use the MT notes part of the template window to type those in:
