How to use notes templates
Notes templates help providers speed up clinical documentation with a structured starting point. The MediSprout platform includes industry-standard templates plus an option for administrators to create custom templates for the organization.
Templates available out of the box
- SOAP — Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan.
- DAP — Data, Assessment, Plan.
- GIRP — Goal, Intervention, Response, Plan. This template syncs to web and mobile.
- Free-form — no structure, write whatever you need.
- Custom templates — created by your organization's adminstrator.
How to apply a template to a note
- During or after a visit, open the Note tab.
- Select a template from the Template dropdown.
- Each section of the template appears as a heading with a prompt. Fill in each section.
- Save the note. You can change templates later. Your existing content is preserved and moved to the closest matching section.
For administrators, how to create a custom template
- From the main menu, select Settings → Note templates.
- Select New template and give it a name (e.g., "Pediatric follow-up").
- Define each section: section heading, optional prompt text, and optional default content.
- Add as many sections as needed and drag to reorder.
- Save and publish. The template appears in the Template dropdown for all providers in your organization.
For administrators, editing or retiring a template
Edit templates at any time. Edits do not retroactively change notes that have already been saved with the older template version. Retiring a template removes it from the dropdown but does not delete notes that used it.
