Go to the EMR (e.g. emr.avonhealth.com)
Click on the hamburger menu on the top left corner > Settings > Smart Phrases
Click "Create a smart phrase"
Set:
- Name: The characters that the provider will type in note.
- Phrase: The long phrase or paragraph that will automatically replace the characters when typed in a note.
- Tags: Tags for organization purposes.
