You do not have to open the SMARText Manager in order to retrieve desired SMARText items. When creating documentation in SOAPware, you have 3 key commands at your disposal to find needed SMARText items. These are F11, Shift + F11, and Space bar.

Additionally, anytime you click into a field in a patient chart and perform one of the above functions, the SMARText Quick Access List will show you the items you have used in that location in the past.

 

F11 Performs a search of the SMARText Keywords AND Shortcuts for the word entered just before pressing F11. 
Shift+F11 Performs the same commands as F11 but also searches the SOAPware Online Library.
Space Bar                         
When the space bar is pressed, the word preceding is searched for, but ONLY the Shortcuts are searched. Power users will assign unique shortcuts to common items and phrases so that they auto expand while typed. For example you might set the short cut of 'ty' to the phrase 'Thank You' so that every time ty and then the space bar is pressed the phrase Thank You is entered.

 

Finding Items while Documenting

F11 Pick List

While creating encounter documentation in a patient chart, you can find needed items very quickly and efficiently.

For example, let's say we are in the SOAP Note section, and want to insert  Amoxicillin in the Medication field.

  1. Click on Medication to activate the field, (Text changes from blue to green with brackets) Type amo inside the green brackets, and then Press the F11 key.

By Pressing F11 (or CTRL+>), your local database will be searched for SMARText items that have keywords matching amo. Any found items will be displayed in a pop-up Quick Access list that presents just below where you are typing, as shown in the image below.

  1. At this point, double-clicking on any item will place it in that location in the medical record. For our example, we will select the first item on the list.  Alternatively,  pressing 1 on your keyboard will place it in the chart since our selection is in the #1 spot on the list. So the list is useful for both keyboarders and point-and-clickers.

The image below shows how the selected item will look in the SOAP Note.

When you Click on the Underlined Blue text, a SMARText Quick Access list will pop up containing selections to complete the items such as dosage, amount of refills, etc.

Shift +F11 Pick List

Typing amo, holding down the Shift key and then pressing F11 tells SOAPware to search both the local library AND the online library.  Items can be inserted into the chart from this list by Double Clicking on the item(s).

The SMARText Items display provides three ways to organize you codes: by Searching, by Type and by Keyword.

Online

The SOAPware Online Library provides a unique way to share and discover codes and customizations created by SOAPware and other users.

Each of the three tabs discussed above have a check box located in the lower left corner next to Include Online Library Items. When checked, your searches not only include your local items but also all items located in the SOAPware Online Library. 

You will notice that each SMARText item has a small triangle next to it - pointing up to indicate that the item exists in your local databaseloc..jpg and point down to indicated it is on the SOAPware servers.onl.jpgIn addition, each item will be one of three colors -green for items created by SOAPware, yellow for items you or fellow users have created and red for items you do not have access to.

  2. Click on the Upload button. (Blue arrow pointing Up)

If the item already exists in your local database, you will be prompted on whether you wish to overwrite the existing item or skip downloading the item.

Updating Items

Over time, items that you have download in the past may have been updated in the online library. SOAPware can automatically download items that have been updated.

Click on the Update iconupdt.jpg (some say it looks like a nervous light bulb) 

If your local item exists online and has been updated, SOAPware will compare the items and download the update-if the online item is newer.

You will be warned that this process may take several minutes to complete.
