First and foremost, you must have started using clinical tags within the patients' records for this information to be transferable to an electronic message.
How to add a tag
It is very easy to bring up the list of available tags. Follow these steps:
Go to the field: Click in the relevant text field (e.g., "Internal notes," "Comment," or similar fields where tags are enabled).
Activate the menu: Type the symbol # (hashtag) on your keyboard.
Select a tag: A dropdown menu will automatically appear with your available tags.
You can either click the desired tag with your mouse, or continue typing the name of the tag to filter the list and then press Enter.
Tip: You can add multiple tags to the same field by repeating the process (type # again).
Add tags in Electronic Messages
By typing # followed by a keyword (#keyword), you will add tags to your message.
Why use clinical tags?
Better overview: Mark messages that require special follow-up (e.g., #Urgent or #Return).
Faster search: Filter your lists based on tags to immediately find all messages of a specific type.
Automation: In some cases, tags can direct the further workflow in the backend systems (depending on your setup).
