Hi, everyone! I'm having trouble with vital signs. I have them in every report and I would like to know the best way to do them to save time. I have a glossary for temperatures, but I don't have glossaries for BP (too exhausting) or respirations or weight. I do have a glossary for pulse oximetry. Anyway, it seems a waste of time to input the temperature, Ctrl+ right and input the BP reading, etc. I think it may be faster to type the words every time but I wanted other opinions. If I am confusing anyone, an example is below.
Vital Signs: [temperature short goes here which is t983, for example], blood pressure, respirations, pulse oximetry is % on room air, weight is
The above is in my normal/template for each doctor but it's annoying with all the Ctrl+right going on! I've tried making those jump things but I'm in Dictaphone and 1) our Macros are turned off permanently and, 2) it doesn't seem to work when I put a marker in IT using the Commands feature and try to use F11 to jump from place to place (F11 is our jumping key; I don't know if it's the same for every Word-based platform). I was thinking of changing the above to:
Vital Signs:
and then just filling it in as I go...unless there's a better way?
Thanks in advance!!
Sorry the font is so big, I need to make an eye appointment!
