Improving NextGen EHR Template Readability Part I

Welcome to our new series dedicated to helping NextGen users get the most from their templates and documents. We will be posting quick tips on a regular basis so please keep coming back weekly or like our Facebook page.

Have you ever had a template with a note field and you don’t want all of the information to just run together in one continuous stream of words?  Did you know that you can force a new line in the note field?  With the following command you can force a new line so that the presented information is spaced for readability.

{ FORMAT ({0}{n}{1},fieldname, value)}

  •  “fieldname” is the name of the field you wish to add a CR/LF before adding informat
  •  “value” is what you want to appear on a different line from what is already in fieldname.

We know your physicians and staff will appreciate this.

Take a look and see how you can do this in the NextGen Template Editor:
