Templates
Each of the note pages in ODES has a template section that allows the evaluator to create any
number of templates. Using this feature the evaluator can have any field from the client and case
information automatically populate a template when applied to the client’s file. For example, the
client’s name, date of injury and injury locations could be brought into the note exactly where you
designed the template to put them. This feature speeds up reporting time, improves efficiency
and hence, profitability. There are a variety of headings under which templates can be created.
These include:
History
Examination
Diagnosis
X-Rays/Lab
Referral
Impairment
Return To Work
Custom Note
Testing Analysis
Recommendations
Progress Analysis
Cover Letter
