The Touchpad is designed to reduce the amount of time needed to enter complete Patient SOAP notes and charges at the VTC. The Touchpad can be programmed to input phrases or other bits of information, directly into SOAP notes – replacing the need to manually type the information using a keyboard. With just a few quick button presses on the Touchpad, a Provider can enter a complete, accurate SOAP note onto a patient file, educate the Patient using X-ray images and Documentation and Post a charge to the Patients’ account for Services provided.
We will discuss how to program the Touchpad in another section, just note as we cover the VTC screen functions; many of the options on-screen can also be manipulated or accessed via Touchpad buttons. Properly configuring and understanding the Touchpad can help reduce or eliminate the need for manually entry of information via keyboard or mouse.
On the Adjusting Table, plug a Touchpad into the computer using the supplied USB cable. Windows should automatically load the required drivers for the Touchpad. Start Atlas (or restart) when complete.
