Clinical Annotations

Gentu includes a Notes feature, which allows you to write a note or summary about a result or letter for a quick revision in the future.

Adding a Note

Notes can be added in several areas of Gentu. 

• In Results / Letters
  • Diagnostic Reports
  • Incoming Correspondence
  • Outgoing Correspondence
• In Clinical
  • Consults
  • Letters
  • Results
  • Procedures
  • Attachments
  • Pregnancy Records

In each area, there are two methods for adding a Note. 

1. On the tile, choose the menu icon, then select Note. 
2. Select the Note icon from the top right corner of the preview.

An Add Note window will open, and you can enter any information necessary. Once complete, select the SAVE button to finalise the entry. 

Viewing Notes

When a Note has been added to an item, a pink Note message will appear against the tile. 

When you select this tile to view the item, you can view the details of the note above the record. This will display the first three lines of the note.

Edit a Note

A Note can be edited by selecting the Note icon (as if adding a new Note), or by clicking on the Note itself. This will display an Edit Note window, which will also allow you to view who added the note, and when it was created. 

Selecting an existing Note will also provide you with the option to DELETE, should it no longer be required.
