Writing a Typed Note (Web App)

Type our your note on the Scribenote web app

Updated this week

ℹ️ Typed Notes are a last-generation feature and won't be updated as frequently.

Our Typed Notes feature can be handy when you need to type SOAP notes in Scribenote!

New Note Page Overview

Go to the New Typed Note by navigating to your account profile and selecting New Typed Note from the dropdown menu.

Once you choose New Typed Note, you will see the following:

a. Select Patient Note if you wish to assign the note to a patient! A section will appear for you to select your desired patient from your existing list, or you can create a new one by clicking +Patient on the right. These notes will appear in your Patient Notebook and Inbox when you are done.

b. Select Quicknote if you do not wish to assign the note to a patient. These notes will appear in your Inbox when you are done.

Let's go over the different sections of the New Typed Note:

Refer to the red numbers in the image above:

  • (1) Note Status.

    • Draft: you are in the process of editing this note

    • Completed: you have submitted your note, and it is under 'Ready to Export' in the Inbox.

    • Exported: you have submitted and exported your note and it is under 'Exported' in the Inbox.

  • (2) Saved status. As you type your note, it saves automatically!

  • (3) See Past Revisions button. You can view the audit log associated with this note.

  • (4) Note Title text box. This is an optional field to allow you to name your note. If left blank, your note will simply not have a title.

  • (5) Date field. By default, the date and time is set to when you started the note. If you wish to change it, you can click here to edit it.

  • (6) Autosuggest toggle. Turning this option on will give you word suggestions for medical terms as you type. Hit tab on your keyboard to complete the suggestion.

  • (7) Select/Replace tool. You can replace a string of text in your note with a new string of text. If it appears multiple times in your note, it will replace all these instances in one go.

  • (8) Use Template button. You can select a template you have made or a preset template to use for this typed note.

Note: selecting a Template from here will overwrite all the content already in your note, so if you wish to use a template, select it first.

  • (9) Edit Fields toggle. This applies to the Objective section of the SOAP. When you activate the toggle, you can delete any line by clicking the minus button that appears beside the field you don't want. Additionally, you can customize your own row by clicking Add New Field in the Custom Fields section at the bottom of the pink section.

  • (10) Use Blank toggle. Toggling this on removes the preset fields in the Objective section and allows you to type freely in a single text box.

At the bottom of the note, you will see more options:

  • (11) Additional Key Information dropdown. Here you can type in key history, key medications, vaccination status and weight.

  • (12) Add Attachments dropdown. You can upload a file to add onto your note.

  • (13) Export Note dropdown.

    • Copy Note Text button: click to automatically copy the note contents, you can paste the plain text anywhere you wish!

    • Download PDF button: click to download your note as a PDF.

    • Email as Link option: the note will be exported as an email containing a clickable link that will direct the recipient to a webpage from which the note and its attachments (if included) can be viewed or downloaded.

    • Email as Embedded Text option: the note will be exported as an email containing the note's text contents (attachments will not be included in the email).

  • (14) Trash button. Clicking this will delete the note forever.

  • (15) Save Draft button. Saves your current note with your new edits to your Inbox for future edits. After you save, you'll be taken back to your previous screen.

  • (16) Submit Note button. Confirms that your note is finished. After submitting, you will see a green success popup saying "Note updated successfully" like this and the note will move from 'Drafts' to 'Ready to Export.'

You are free to make as many Typed Notes as you wish, these do not count towards your note limit!
