Thanks for the tip. I understand if you like to have all the history in front of you every single time. I'm a newbie so I was unaware of being able to clear all the fields. I do wish it was an option that I could just one-click for a new blank note.

When I say cumbersome, I mean when I send my referring docs a note. I usually just send them a copy of my note. I've already sent them a copy of my full consult so I usually just send them a 4 line post-op note in f/u saying that the patient is doing fine. It's a bit cumbersome to send the entire history everytime especially if the patient has a weekly or bi-weekly wound. I understand I can do some more "clicking" and eliminate it. I'm just trying to find ways to eliminate clicking (which is why I'm going with AC and not e-MDs or eclinical works).

That is the bonus of those pieces of software. If I open a patient in the post-op period, I click "post-op lap chole" and it fills in a standard note and off it goes. I'm just trying to take the good parts of that software and bring it into AC in a simple way.

So I think if you could have templates for entire notes, that would be great.

Don't get me wrong. I have reviewed far too many EMRs and AC fits me better than any of the others.
