Creating and Managing Sticky Notes on the iPad
Sticky notes are internal notes—meaning they don't appear in medical records or the patient portal. Sticky notes appear near the top of the patient overview so they are visible to anyone in the practice who opens the patient's chart. Use sticky notes document any information you need to be able to see quickly when reviewing a patient's record. For example, you might use sticky notes to document details about the patient's life, like hobbies, kids' names, or favorite sports teams. You might use sticky notes to indicate the patient is a VIP or requires more finesse. Or, you might use sticky notes to list the patient's last test results or important clinical information.
