Chips under the note

Quick-action chips beneath the consultation note allow you to insert structured templates, record vitals, and launch clinical drawers with one click.

What it does

Note chips are interactive shortcut buttons positioned directly below the consultation text editor. Clicking a chip instantly inserts pre-formatted sections (such as Vitals, History, Examination, Allergies, or Safety-net advice) or triggers specialized tool panels without disrupting your typing flow.

When to use it

Use note chips when documenting systematic physical examinations, recording objective vital signs, dictating sections, or structuring formal consult templates.
