Zipnotes is an efficient and easy method of charting patient progress notes while still allowing each individual doctor the freedom to utilize specific patient data as he/she prefers. Zipnotes can be used in any practice and can afford the doctor a unique way to have personalized patient-care notes. As you practice utilizing the Zipnotes system you will become more proficient in making reports to your own individual style.
The burdensome paperwork requirements placed on today’s chiropractor has resulted in many instances where the doctor spends more time documenting the patients course of care than actually treating the patient. This dilemma has resulted in the chiropractor constantly looking for easier and quicker ways to improve documentation in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
Zipnotes are not "canned" reports but rather SOAP notes that require only a minimum amount of the chiropractors time to complete but result in a competent chiropractic SOAP note. This is accomplished by providing the treating chiropractor with a series of complete and incomplete sentences that are common to all patient encounters. Furthermore, randomized sentences are found for most repetitious phrases and additional ones can be inserted to provide a variety of report variations. The treating chiropractor is merely required to fill in the appropriated blanks with the unique set of circumstances that apply to each patient visit. These blanks can be filled in with an individual description of the patient’s current status or a code can be placed in these blanks from a chart of pre-written inserts of common chiropractic findings.
Zipnotes reduce the enslavement of paperwork to a bare minimum. It frees the chiropractor to enjoy the patient visit experience without feeling the pressure of providing proper documentation. The treating chiropractor can add to, edit or make deletions to the Zipnotes program at anytime making it a note-taking system for anyone.
