PROGNOCIS has a unique concept of designing documents using a word-processor style interface. This uses Tags, which can get used for a variety of purposes, including:
  • Standard formats for Progress Notes
  • Standard formats for Forms
  • Standard formats for Preprinted
  • Standard formats for Letters
  • Lab Order Printing
  • Lab Result Printing
  • Radiology Order Printing
  • Rad Result Printing
  • Prescription Order
  • Generating Tabular Reports
  • Appointments Reports
  • Billing Reports
Most of the above documents will have a different layout and content in every practice. Progress Notes / Letters can be designed for the whole clinic as well as for a specific doctor. Creation of customized templates speeds up tedious documentation tasks.

The interface used to create document template has buttons with tool-tips to guide you in creating templates. These templates are defined in terms of the Tags, Fonts and colors. Since most of the features are common to most word-processing software in use nowadays, it is easy to use.

Use Page Layout: If this is checked the system uses the htmls for header, footer, left and right margins while printing the template.

Buttons: Three search are provided to select Tags,
  • The First search is for all the Tags arranged in Hierarchical order.
  • The second search is for Relevant Tags, pertaining to the specific functionality selected, from Progress Notes through Billing, in Configuration > Settings > Tamplates.
  • And the third search is for the Dollar Tags.

Lab / Rad / Rx / Encounter Report template: The nature of this template is slightly different from the Progress Notes. This is transaction oriented. We need a header in terms of Clinic / Doc / Patient Name, Address and other details. This is followed by detail lines for each test ordered / drug prescribed. This is achieved by printing repeatedly all defined details Tags between two special tags START and END.
  • Lab Template uses < !--[SEC_LAB_DET_START]--> and < !--[SEC_LAB_DET_END]-->
  • Rad Template uses < !--[SEC_RAD_DET_START]--> and < !--[SEC_RAD_DET_END]-->
  • Rx Template uses < !--[SEC_RX_DET_START]--> and < !--[SEC_RX_DET_END]-->
  • Encounter Report template uses < !--[SEC_ENC_REP_START]--> and < !--[SEC_ENC_REP_END]-->
Labs can have specific formats in which they require the Lab orders. Lab Order or Rad Order Templates can be defined for a specific Vendor. If no vendor is specified then the template is assumed to be generic. Generic templates are used if Lab Order / Rad Order is not for a specific Vendor, or if there is no template defined for the selected Vendor.

While printing a Prescription for In House Drugs, it will use any Prescription Order with word "InHouse" in them.

A copy of an existing Template can be created using the "save as..." button.

Fillable Form Template: Fillable PDF Forms are electronically generated PDFs forms with filled in values coming from patient’s encounter; thus ensuring speed and accuracy. Currently, PrognoCIS supports the following group of forms from the states of New York and Florida:

- Doctor’s Initial Report, C-4;

- Doctor’s Progress Report, C-4.2;

- Florida Worker’s Compensation – DWC25

Fillable Forms are designed in such a way that data is pulled from encounters or patient’s records using relevant tags. The field name and its relevant tags are pipe (|) separated. Fillable forms templates are available on following screens:
  • Specialty screen,
  • Progress Notes screen,
  • Letter-Out screen
