Templates

StoriiCare allows staff to streamline documentation by applying pre-created Progress Note Templates directly within a participant note. Templates help ensure consistency and save time for commonly used formats. Ensure that 'Templates' is enabled in Progress Notes Settings in order to access the below.

Administrators can manage templates from the Progress Notes Settings area.

  1. Go to Settings

  3. Create a new template with the plus icon or edit an existing one using the 'Pencil' icon

  4. Add your text, headings, or prompts that should appear whenever staff apply the template

Once created, templates become available for all staff to use when writing Progress Notes.
