Using SMART exams
If the video does not play, copy the web address into a web browser outside the Wolf EMR data centre.
For questionnaire-type diagnostic tools (such as mental health assessments) and for complex visit documentation (such as the Pain Management Functional Goals & Summary), you can enter data using specialized SMART forms called SMART exams. When you enter data using SMART exams:
The EMR automatically calculates questionnaire scores.
For questionnaire scores and other exam data: You can graph values and perform patient searches based on values.
Most Wolf EMR SMART exams also contain links to patient handouts and other physician resources related to specific diagnostic tools.
You can access SMART exams only from the SOAP Note Examination window or from the Consult Letter Examination window (specialists), as the exam must be connected to a patient visit.
After you save and close a SMART exam, you cannot open and edit the original exam. Instead, start a new version of the SMART exam, and then re-enter data in the fields and questionnaires you want to modify. When you save the new SMART exam, the EMR overwrites the areas of the form where you entered data.
The following SMART exams are available in Wolf EMR.
