Treatment Plan Text Shortcuts

Kareo's Treatment Plan text shortcut enhancement allow providers to efficiently build a treatment plan using text macros to produce frequently used phrases and paragraphs with a single command. Providers can create new text shortcuts directly in the treatment plan without leaving the page, in the Text Shortcuts page under My Settings, or from within a note. Text shortcuts created in treatment plans share the same library as text shortcuts in notes.

Shortcuts can be created or used in the following fields of a treatment plan: Presenting Problem/Behavioral Definition, Additional Information, Goal, Objective, and Intervention.
