Social History is a mini-template in TRAKnet 3.1. Social history can be documented from either: the Social Hx button on the Patient's Chart or from the use of the «SocialHistory» link embedded into any other template, such as a Dashboard or Encounter Form.
The social history template can be modified by going to UserName > Manage Templates and selecting the SocialHistory template type.
Social History Template
The social history template will be defaulted with several multiple choice links. This template can be customized, however it is worth noting that Smoking Status documentation is required for the MIPS quality measures and should be left in the template.
The template, on default, will appear as follows (with the items in «carrots» hyperlinks selected from the Links tab):
