Unified Chronic Disease Short Form

Since the launch of the original Diabetes template in 2018 eDOCSNL has consulted extensively with busy physicians and received a lot of feedback on the use of the Practice 360 tools.  The common themes from this feedback indicate that, in some practice settings, the long form templates for chronic disease management do not fit with existing workflow but do contain numerous features of value, including Triggers, embedded templates, resources and automatically populated labs.  As a result, we have decided to deploy a truncated version of the templates that captures the features felt to be of value while at the same time preserving existing workflow and documentation by supplementing the existing documentation template, rather than replacing it. This truncated version of the visit template still supports the fundamentals of the clinical practice guidelines for chronic disease management and collects CDS-focused short forms for Diabetes, Heart Failure and COPD together in one convenient location.
