How to Use Tags with Progress Notes

Tags are a powerful tool within StoriiCare’s Progress Notes feature. They help staff categorize notes, improve filtering and reporting, and ensure important information is easy to find. Tags support consistent documentation and make reviewing notes faster and more efficient.

This guide explains how tags work, how to apply them, and how administrators can customize tag options.

Tags are labels that describe the type or category of a Progress Note.

Common examples include:

• Behavior

• Family Communication

• PT Notes

• OT Notes

• Nurse Notes

• AM Shift

• PM Shift

• Handover

Tags allow staff to quickly filter notes and identify patterns or themes in documentation.

1. Go to Progress Notes on the StoriiCare Dashboard or Participant Profile.

2. Begin composing your note.

3. In the tagging dropdown below the text box, select one or more tags from the list.

   • You can apply multiple tags to a single note if appropriate.

4. Complete the rest of your note and click Save.

Your tagged note will now appear in the main Progress Notes log with the associated labels visible.

Tags make it easy to sort through large volumes of notes.

1. Open Progress Notes.

2. Locate the Tags filter at the top of the page.

3. Select the tag(s) you want to filter by.

4. The list will update to show only notes with those tags.

This is especially useful during audits, handovers, care plan reviews, and clinical meetings.

If you need to modify the tags on a saved note:

1. Find the note you want to edit.

2. Select Edit in the bottom-right corner.

3. Add or remove tags as needed.

4. Click Save.

⚠️ If you do not see the Edit option, speak to a Manager or Administrator about updating your permissions settings.

Administrators can customize the tag list for their organization:

1. Go to Progress Notes.

2. Click the Settings (cog/wheel icon).

3. Scroll to the Note Type Tags section.

4. Here you can:

   • Add new tags (+)

   • Rename existing tags (pencil icon)

   • Change tag colors

   • Delete tags (trash bin icon)

Customizing tags helps ensure consistency and aligns tagging options with your organization’s documentation standards.

StoriiCare allows users to download a Notes report by tag. For example, if you wanted to see all the Progress Notes regarding PT services over the last 6 months for Mr. Smith, you can do just that!

1. Open Progress Notes.

2. Click the Export button (top right corner).

3. Use the filters to configure the report to your preference.

4. From the Note type tag dropdown menu, select the relevant tag(s) for your report.
   

• Use tags consistently to improve filtering and reporting accuracy.

• Apply multiple tags when a note spans more than one category (e.g., “Behavior” AND “PT Notes”).

• Review and clean up unused tags periodically to keep your list organized.

• Train staff on when and why to apply certain tags to maintain uniform documentation.
