Set up your own Mental Status Category
| 1. | Click User Defined Fields from the Mental Status screen. |
| 2. | Select User Defined 1 from the User Fields list. |
| 3. | Enter a category name (e.g. Intelligence) to replace the label 'User Defined 1'. |
Enter items for a pick list for your new category
| 1. | Enter a descriptive statement in the Pick List Items field (e.g. Average Intelligence) and click OK to add your item. Items in your pick list appear in the box below. |
| 2. | Click Close when you have completed your pick list. |
The new category will appear on the second page of the Mental Status form where the user field was listed. When you click in the new category field, your user defined pick list items will appear in the pick list at the top of the screen.
Edit a User Defined Category and Pick List
| 1. | Click User Defined Fields from the Mental Status screen. |
| 2. | Select the category you want to edit. In the Enter Category Name text box mark the text and type the changes to the category name. |
| 3. | To edit a pick list item. Delete the item and re-enter it. |
Note: Since user defined categories are global, if you change a category after using it in previous patient notes, the new category name may not match with a description applied previously. If you are using QuicDoc on a network the setup for user defined categories should be assigned to the System Administrator or to one individual only.
