High-quality clinical record keeping is crucial to support continuity of care for patients and decision making for clinicians. Many clinical software programs used in general practice contain shortcut features that allow insertion of pre-stored, editable text into progress notes.

It is important that they do not replace clinical acumen and judgement. General practices using our chlamydia management shortcuts found them easy to set up, that they acted as a prompt for best practice chlamydia management and that they integrated well with the general practice workflow.</p>","PeriodicalId":54241,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of General Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142382422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
