Subnote Merge to Text
A new option has been added that allows a subnote to be accessed via a textbox. This feature works similarly to how the Review of System, Physical Exam and Assessment & Plan controls can be tied to a textbox that will then merge into a single field once multiple data points are entered.
There are many ways this could be helpful. A practice may want to have one Acute Visit template, but allow the HPI questions to be tailored to the patient symptoms. This would allow for a practice to determine a set list of questions that they expect their nurses to answer when gathering the History of Present Illness. Another use case could be if a practice has the same section of text, like Birth History, on multiple templates. Using the subnote merge option allows the practice to only have to make changes to that section in one place, and it allows the text to be formatted in an easy-to-read format as it pulls forward from visit to visit.
