Snippets
Snippets can be created to quickly add pre-populated text to any document field.
Any user with the “admin_charts” permission can manage Snippets in Admin.
Creating a New Snippet
To create a new Snippet, simply click “+ New Snippet” at the top of the Snippet Admin page.
Enter the Snippet Name and Text which can then be selected when filling out a document field in the Charts or Prescription sections of Instinct EMR.
If a Snippet is inserted into a Chart template, it will automatically appear when this document is created for a patient. This is similar to how Default Order Notes work when ordering treatments on the Treatment Sheet.
Editing a Snippet
To Edit or Delete a Snippet, simply click the 3-dot menu to the left of the Snippet Label name.
Variables
Variables can be added to a Snippet by utilizing 2 curly brackets “{{” to insert the variable as seen below:
When the Snippet with the variable is used, the Patient’s name will auto populate into the desired fields.
Variables available are:
{{patient_name}}– Replaced by the patient’s first name{{patient_full_name}}– Replaced by the patient’s full name{{patient_pims_id}}– Replaced by the patient’s PIMS ID{{patient_age}}– Replaced by the patient’s age{{patient_sex}}– Replaced by the patient’s sex{{patient_breed}}– Replaced by the patient’s breed{{patient_species}}– Replaced by the patient’s species{{primary_contact_full_name}}– Replaced by the account’s primary contact’s full name
📑 Charting Snippets
Snippets are a great tool allowing you to quickly add pre-populated text or variables to any document field.
To add a Snippet, simply select the text field to display the notebook symbol below the field. Clicking on the notebook symbol will open the Snippets box, where you can then search for a specific Snippet by typing in the search field or by scrolling through the list. Snippets can also be quickly added to text boxes by using the keyboard shortcut of CTRL+S or by typing {{ in the text box.
Once a Snippet is selected, the information within that Snippet will populate in the text field, where you can then edit the Snippet or add additional Snippets.
💊 Prescription Snippets
Prescribing information can also be added to Snippets allowing you to quickly fill in the prescription instructions.
📧 Comm Log Snippets
A Comm Log Snippet can make emailing invoices, records, and estimates to the client easy.
