I just was inspired how to make the most of progress notes. (forgive this format doesn’t look as exciting as it does on my patient chart)

I will use my comprehensive exam as an example. I placed my headers in bold but made the colon following the word (:) in nonbold so as I type the note it is in nonbold and shows up easier to read.  Now when I see a new patient I simply hit the tool that reads “comprehensive exam” and this templet will be generated.  It keeps me on track to get everything written.
