Inactivate unused dotScribe Library Folders

Inactivate unused dotScribe Library Folders



When you inactivate folders, they will not appear in the dotScribe suggestion window.

You can increase the accuracy of dotScribe by inactivating the folders that you do not use.

dotScribe templates come in 3 forms based on placeholders found in common EHRs. We recommend using the “Chart with _” folder if your EHR doesn’t utilize placeholders. Inactivate the “Chart with” folders that you won’t use to prevent redundant suggestions. 

Folder

Placeholder Example 

Chart with *** 

Patient presents with *** and ***

Chart with _

Patient presents with _ and _

Chart with [ ]

Patient presents with [ ] and [ ]
