Introduction
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a Text Blaze snippet I created that integrates with a Data Blaze table to streamline clinical history documentation. This setup helps pull structured data for common conditions directly into my EMR notes, reducing typing and ensuring comprehensive documentation.
How It Works
- Select the Complaint/Diagnosis – A dropdown menu pulls a list of complaints from my Data Blaze table.
- Pre-Filled History Components – Based on the selected complaint, the snippet loads:
- Symptoms
- Aggravating & alleviating factors
- Associated symptoms
- Red flags
- Treatments tried
- Other relevant history
- Customizable Sections – The snippet allows selection of which history components to include, keeping notes relevant to the case.
- Editable Fields – Pre-populated options from Data Blaze can be selected, edited, or additional custom inputs can be added dynamically.
Example Use Case
If I select Cough, the snippet auto-fills:
- Symptoms: Cough (auto-selected), fever, dyspnea, sputum production
- Aggravating Factors: Cold air, lying flat, exercise
- Red Flags: Hemoptysis, weight loss, persistent fever, severe dyspnea
- Treatments Tried: OTC cough syrup, inhalers, antibiotics
Cough is auto-selected as a primary symptom, while other symptoms are available for selection. I can then modify or add additional details as needed before inserting the finalized history into my note.
