Basic Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Techniques: Smart Lists

OVERVIEW

Smart lists can have quite a bit of utility. In essence they allow you to create a list of selectable choices that you can integrate into smart phrases that can help one’s charting efforts.

Smart lists can make charting simpler in circumstances where one needs to routinely select from a list of possible options when writing in the EMR (image source).

This page includes tutorial videos in each of its sections (that demonstrates how to conduct these techniques on the UCSF EPIC EMR system). All of these videos can be found in this folder here.

HOW TO MAKE A SMART LIST

The first step of course will be finding out how to actually make the smart list. While simple it can sometimes be nuanced.

HOW TO USE A SMART LIST

After the smart list is made to use it, often times it will need to be integrated into a smart phrase so that it can be pulled into notes/etc.
