Charting Experience Updates

  • Updated

Overview

We’ve introduced several improvements to the charting experience to give you more control, reduce interruptions, and make key actions easier to access.

These updates include new customization options, interface refinements, and visual indicators to help you quickly understand chart status at a glance.

 


What's New

Customize How Charts Open

You can now choose how charts open from your dashboard based on your workflow preference.

To update your setting:

  1. Open your Profile

     

 

  1. Go to Preferences

 

 

  1. Locate Default Chart View

 

 

  1. Select one of the following:
    • Default: Chart loads on the My Day screen 
    • Full Width: Expands the chart to fill your screen
    • New Window: Opens charts in a separate browser window
  2. Save your changes

 

Auto-Refreshing My Day Schedule

The My Day schedule now refreshes automatically when appointment updates occur.

  • Updates apply to current and upcoming appointments
  • Only the left-side schedule panel refreshes
  • The rest of your screen remains unchanged

This allows you to see real-time updates, such as patient arrivals, without interrupting your workflow.

 

 

Updated Charting Interface

We’ve refined the charting interface to simplify actions and improve usability.

Updates include:

  • Simplified labels:
    • Lock Chart is now Lock
    • Copy From Last is now Copy From
  • A new Save button that allows you to save your work without closing the chart
  • Complete & Close has been moved into a dropdown menu
    • Includes the Complete & Print option

 

 

Chart Status Icons

Chart status icons are now displayed on appointments within the dashboard.

  • Icons indicate whether a chart is started, completed, or locked

  • Icons can be toggled on or off in Dashboard Settings
     

 

These indicators make it easier to quickly assess chart status without opening each appointment.

 

Key Behaviors 

  • Saving a chart no longer closes it
  • Schedule auto-refresh only affects the left panel
  • Chart opening behaviour is controlled per user via preferences
  • Chart icons are optional and configurable

 

Result

These updates are applied automatically. You can optionally adjust your chart opening preference to match your workflow.
