PrimeSUITE Template Workbook

0



Expanding on a previous post, physicians that learn and master the template building tools in Greenway PrimeSUITE have the best chance to achieve greatest benefits from PrimeSUITE. However, not all physicians have the desire, time and/or comfort with technology to build templates to fit their individual needs.

As an IT staff member dedicated to physician support and satisfaction, it is my focus to try to find ways to bridge the gap between current system usage and optimal usage. The latest tool for this is a workbook that I created to provide to our physicians that they can fill out to provide information to myself or my team members to assist with template building. 

Our goal is to be able to assist in building an initial template and be able to work with the physician and his/her nursing staff to iterate further changes until a solid template has been developed.

Like the template mind map, I am providing it for others to use if they find it useful.

The workbook can be found here.

Pre-Mapping PrimeSUITE Templates

0


Creating and leveraging templates in Greenway PrimeSUITE comes with a learning curve but is an essential piece of knowledge to fully leverage the EMR to your needs. Poor and underdeveloped templates can lead to extra clicks, searching, and other inefficiencies that can reduce your focus on patient care.

Leverage your Greenway trainers and eLearning to learn the essentials of template building. Build a foundation of your 20 to 25 most common chief complaints. Using templates designed to merge into existing templates can allow you to tailor your documentation to an individual patients visit, complete with preset  HPI, diagnosis, medications, and orders.'

I developed a mind map document that allows users to think through their desired template before committing it to the system. The text is kinda small to fit it all on one page but it may be useful to allow you to visualize a template before you start building.

Hope you find it useful.
