Creating Progress Note Templates

Progress Note Templates streamline efficiency and workflow by adding structured prompts to Progress Notes. PointClickCare provides predefined notes based on DAR, SOAP, SOAPIE and Narrative formats. Predefined templates are indicated in PointClickCare by a (system) note and can only be retired.

  1. Do one of the following: 

    • Single facilities: Clinical > Setup > Progress Notes > Progress Notes Templates.

    • Multi-facilities: Management Console > Standards > Care Management >  Progress Notes > PN Templates.

  • You can add sections to the Progress Note Template. Sections create prompts next to the note fields, which are useful for completing the selected Progress Note Template. 

  • You can change the sequence of the sections in the Progress Note Template after creation by selecting the sections link and editing the description.
