Automating your EMR

There are times when your SOAP note has statement that requires input from the user. Study those statements that could be responded to by a standard response, e.g. "YES", "NO", "NEGATIVE", "No significant issues." etc. Instead of typing in the responses, the user can program function keys on the keyboard to automatically post the response into your SOAP note.
The application that can do this is AUTOHOTKEY (www.autohotkey.com). It works for windows only. There may be some out there that work on Mac and Linux. Download the app and read through the tutorial.
