Charting Templates Cover

Physician Resources – Charting Templates 15 months to 4 years

$39.00

There must be a way to make practice easier…

A note from Dr. Erika,

One of the most challenging things of private practice, I have found, is not seeing patients but organizing, planning and charting.  Have you felt this way too?  Have you found yourself thinking “There must be an easier way to do this…”?

I have found that robust charting templates make my practice much easier.  I combined AAP practice guidelines with what I believe to be best naturopathic practices and created charting templates that help guide my well child visits.  This helps trigger important discussions during well child visits – things like breastfeeding checks, solid food introductions, mental health checks for Mom and Dad, safety discussions, encouraging connection & attachment with the child and parent, screening for lead exposure, checking developmental milestones and more.

I am happy to share these templates with you!

I have included two versions – one is a simple text-based document you can cut and paste into your own EMR system.  Another is a version that you can use with Text Expander to create custom pop-up templates. (Very, very cool!)

 

Description

This product is designed for Naturopathic Physicians, Primary Care Providers or other healthcare providers only. It is not intended for personal or patient use.  

Included in Physician Resources – Charting Templates 15 months to 4 years

  • Subjective, Objective, Assessment (with ICD-10 codes) and Plan templates for ages 15 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years and 4 years.
  • Subjective information includes questions to ask parents, including information on diet, sleep, parenting,  parent’s mental health (and relationship), safety, dental care, screen time, developmental milestones at each age, and more.
  • Cues to complete autism screening at 18 months and 24 months (as recommended by AAP).
  • Objective information includes sample templates for “normal” findings for all body systems at each age group.
  • Assessment includes ICD-10 codes appropriate for each time frame (for normal findings).
  • Plan information includes a template for providing naturopathic guidance for each time frame.  This includes information about diet and nutrition, development, toddler tempers, developing connection with parent & toddler, parent self-care, safety concerns, discipline, potty training, pre-K skills and more.  This helps trigger reminders to discuss certain topics at specific ages (e.g., assessing Kindergarten Readiness).

Text Expander templates

Also included in this download are Text Expander templates.

Text expander is a paid app that lets you insert snippets of text using short codes. You will need to purchase Text Expander separately (no affiliation, and it is very reasonably priced.)

I have included templates that can be copied and pasted into your Text Expander program, which allows you to create entire templates within your EMR system simply by typing a short snippet. You will need to set up each snippet with a keyword or short code that you prefer. In my practice I use snippets starting with a semi-colon (to prevent from accidental use of a text expander). For example typing ;18mowell would pull up my entire 18 month subjective.  This is optional, but highly recommended as it makes charting extremely efficient.

Well Child Guides

Also included are the black & white physician versions of our Well Child Guides ages 15 months, 18 months, 2 year, 3 year, and 4 year.  Use these as handouts for your practice for each well child check.  Well Child Guides also include an Herb Guide which gives specific dosing instructions for use of child-safe herbs. * Patients LOVE them!
