, place the cursor in
the Finding Synonym Verbiage
Template box, type in the desired Finding Synonym Verbiage, and
click the Save icon.The Synonyms section is where all the names or alternate names of a Finding are entered in the system. Each Finding MUST have at least one entry in the Synonym section.
For example, the Finding of Degenerative Disk Disease has 3 Synonyms Iterations:
1. “degenerative disk disease”
2. “degeneration of intervertebral disk”
3. “narrowing of intervertebral disk”
Each Iteration Template is assigned a Weight between 1 and 100. This Weight determines the frequency with which each iteration will be used by ChiroPadEMR. The higher the number, the greater will be the randomization of the verbiage. For example, if there were only 2 Iteration Templates and Template A has a Weight of 1 while Template B has a Weight of 100, for each time Template A appears, Template B will appear 100 times. For the greatest degree of text randomization in the SOAP notes, give every Iteration Template a Weight of 100. Note that the more iterations, the greater will be the variation and randomization in the DIR and SOAP Notes.
