Provider-Specific Default Note Configurations
Providers can set their default Note Format based on their documentation needs. They can also customize which additional Note Formats appear in their Notes dropdown, while the existing default note behavior remains unchanged.
Notes
The existing note format inheritance from Administration → Practice Setup → Edit Specialty is being retained to preserve current functionality. In addition, note formats configured by WRS Admin are now made available in the EHR based on the provider’s specialty taxonomy, giving them more flexibility and a wider selection when setting their preferred note format.
