Using Templates

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF

Templates are used to streamline physician documentation. Kareo Clinical provides over 200 library templates. The Template Editor allows you to modify an existing template, rename it, and then save it as your own. Templates you create can be selected when creating a note. You can also share custom templates with other providers or clinical assistants within the practice.

Note: Templates cannot currently be deleted, only inactivated (meaning they will not show up in the list when using templates).

Access Templates

  1. Hover over the User icon in the upper right corner and select My Settings. The My Settings page opens.
  2. Click Templates in the left menu. The Templates page opens.
