Quick Guide

PowerChart Auto-Text enables users to insert frequently used, pre-defined text blocks into documentation using short abbreviations.

  1. Click the Manage Auto Text icon which can be found in:
    • Workflow text entry sections (e.g. Clinical Summary, Examination Findings, Handover Details…)
    • New Notes
  2. The Manage Auto Text window will open. Select the blue plus button at the top left.
  3. Give your auto-text a name. This must start with an unusual character – it is recommended you use @ e.g. @handover.
  4. Add your auto text content to the free text field.
  5. Save.
