Using PIMSpal in Your PIMS
When you open a patient’s Exam note, or the Add Communication page in your PIMS, PIMSpal automatically recognizes which patient note you need and which section of the SOAP note you’re in.
For example, if you’re in a PIMS note for Fluffy, then the most recent note for Fluffy will automatically show. Additionally, if you are editing the Subjective section in your PIMS, clicking there will bring up the matching Subjective section from your Scribenote note. From there, you can copy the content directly into PIMS by clicking on the Import button.
Matching Notes to Patients
PIMSpal automatically finds the closest matching Scribenote note using the patient’s name. If the suggested note isn’t correct, you can manually choose a different note by clicking on the note and selecting a new one from the modal.
Notes in the Select a Note list are prioritized in this order:
Notes with the patient’s name in the title
Notes with the patient’s name in the body
All other notes, sorted by most recent first
If you’re part of more than one team, you can also filter notes by team.
Overriding or Adding to Notes
When importing text, you’ll be asked whether you want to Override Existing Content.
If selected: The imported text will replace the content in that PIMS section.
If unselected: The imported text will be added to whatever is already written in your PIMS.
Completing the PIMS Note
Once you finish importing into your PIMS, and clicking Save in your PIMS, the note will move to the Exported tab in your Scribenote inbox. On Mobile the note will be marked with an Exported pill.
