Nancy, A template is some "boilerplate" text that one can drop into one's note. This is different from the "type" of note that one can have. A note type is stored in TIU DOCUMENT DEFINITION, I believe, and can have some predefined boilerplate text associated with it.
I have found the templates feature of CPRS/VistA to be a wonderful timesaver. Kevin --- Nancy Anthracite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No need to apologize.
