Janet, I know one unit that, in the Note Types dictionary, has not only roles (CNA, RN, Social Worker, etc.) but also types such as Patient Education, Team Meeting, etc. This is a behavioral health unit and they also use canned text, but it's obvious that's what it is. Anybody reading their admission note (canned) and comparing it to the notes that are subsequent written (free text) would know that in an instant, as the admission note is way too sophisticated.
I've seen places that use canned text notes for the purpose of the RN's verification of the LPN's "assessment", and for an end-of-shift summary, to try to capture progress.

I'd like to start using this and wanted to know how people were using them. Do you have a lot of templates, canned text, etc.? I'd really appreciate any ideas or even examples. I'd like to set it up correctly and efficiently right from the beginning. Thanks.
