With Bookem Documents (previously a version of our Notes feature), you can easily create and send professional and medical documents.
Document Templates help streamline this process, making it quick and easy to generate and send Documents with just a few clicks. It pre-populates the document with your business and client data, reducing manual re-entry and saving valuable time.
Document templates are reusable and customisable, allowing you to create various types of documents quickly, while maintaining a uniform structure and style.
Document Templates are typically useful for:
Referral letters: Create a professional referral letter with a header and signature, ensuring the information is clear and authenticated.
Sick notes: Quickly generate a sick note for a patient with all necessary details, including the reason for absence and the duration.
Prescriptions: Write basic prescriptions (e-scripts) that include a header and your signature.
A note on prescriptions: For more advanced functionality and usability, such as AES level signatures, drug interaction checkers, dosage recommendations, medical scheme co-payment information, recommended templates, smart dosage autofill and chronic script repeat function, our integration with EM Guidance Script is highly recommended. Team members requiring access to EMGuidance can configure their account by going to Team Members, clicking their name, clicking on the EM Guidance tab and setting up your EMGuidance API Key. Find it here.
Clinical/treatment notes: Maintain detailed treatment records by setting up templates with various field types, such as checkboxes, drop-downs, body charts, etc; and tables to, for e.g., track blood results, weight, and milestones.
Post-consultation programs and plans, e.g., eating plans, rehab programmes: Easily customise templates to provide clients with personalised plans, including columns, diagrams, and images for clear instructions and guidance.
Tables: Track data such as blood results, weight, and milestones
Check lists: Create lists to improve note taking, allowing for items to be ticked off if it applies, instead of writing it out
Drop-downs: Provide selectable options within the document for easier data entry
Columns: Organise content into multiple columns for better readability
Free Drawing/Scribbling Areas: Add custom drawings or notes
Diagrams: Include diagrams for visual aid
Page Breaks: Separate sections neatly
Horizontal Lines: Create clear separations between sections
Forms: Add existing forms to your templates
Headers: Add customisable headers to documents or document templates that require exporting to PDF and/or printing
Other templates: Reuse one or more other templates within your template
