Quick Guide

Tear off allows you to view any section of the patient record in a window separate to the rest of the record. This is particularly useful when creating a note or letter.
 
From within a patient’s record in Powerchart:

1. Current view will become the torn off window.
2. Click on Tear Off in the grey menu bar at top of window.

Note: If Tear Off is not visible, you will need to enable the Action bar by clicking on View>Toolbar>Navigation Toolbar>Action bar.

3. The torn off window can now be dragged and resized to one side of the screen or onto a second screen.
4. The background window is the patient record, and you can select whichever section you wish to review.
5. Notice the tab representing the torn off window is no longer visible in the blue, left side menu.
6. To rejoin the torn off window to the record, simply click on the x to the top right of that window.
7. The tab is now visible again in the blue, left side menu.
