People's Clinic is template-driven. That means each note type is a template that gathers the right information in a fixed order. You choose the note type before you record - and you can switch along the way if the consultation develops.
What a note type does
Each note type has its own sections in its own order. An example: a type for the ordinary consultation gathers e.g. history, findings, assessment and plan, while a type for a more specific purpose follows the format the situation calls for.
How to choose
Start with the type that covers your ordinary consultation. It is a safe starting point if you are in doubt. Choose a more specific type when the consultation has a clear purpose.
You choose the note type before you record, and you can see which type you are working in when you review the draft.
Note types keep evolving
Which note types you see depends on your profession and your package - Clinic BASIC, Clinic CORE or Clinic PRO - and we add new ones continuously. That is why this guide shows no fixed list.
