Creating Specialty-Specific Note Titles

You have the option of creating TIU note titles specific to each specialty. For example, instead of having one generic note title called “Informed Consent”, you may create multiple note titles for iMedConsent (Example: Informed Consent – Urology, Informed Consent – Cardiology, etc.) Here are the steps:

1. Create the new TIU title(s) in VistA. Write down the number(s).
2. Open iMedConsent. Click the Maintenance menu, then Preferences and select Document Activity Profiles.
3. In the first box at the top of the screen, select the appropriate DAP.
4. Click the Medical Record tab.
5. In the Note Number box, type in the appropriate TIU number. Your Sign Note ID will always default to “2” for Consents and Non-Consent documents. The number 2 ensures that a progress note is created, is administratively closed, and is saved to VistA Imaging. If you want a progress note created, signed and closed, but NOT saved to VistA Imaging, put in a “4” for Sign Note ID. This feature would most likely be used for non-consent documents that you do not want saved to Imaging.
6. Click OK to save your changes.
