'Quick Codes' is the name we give to a function that allows you to enter or select a 'code' and it will insert text or invoice items that are linked to the 'Quick Code'. Quick Codes are active in all the major modules.
They are used to insert:

• Text into Notes, Letters, Recalls, Prescriptions. (Patient, Dictation)
• Fees & Descriptions into Invoices (Patient)

Many of the data entry screens have access to a set of Quick Codes. These are specific to the area of the program that you are working in. For example, when entering a Consultation Note, you have access to the Clinical Text – Text Quick Codes, while if you were entering a Prescription, you would have access to the Clinical Text – Prescription Quick Codes.

To activate the Quick Code Selection Dropdown List, press F8. This displays all the quick codes appropriate for the area. But you can also:

• Type the code in full (if known) and press F8. The expanded text will appear on screen.
• Type the first few characters of the code (if known) and press F8. Only those codes that begin with the typed characters will appear in the Pull-down List. Select the appropriate code (highlight the item and press Enter or double click on it).
