I’ve been trying to shave time off my charting and stumbled upon a couple of great keyboard shortcuts. Just the other day, I learned that using Alt + Shift + S can save so much time in our EMR. Anyone else have quick hacks that have made a difference for you during shifts?
I’ve found using templates helps a ton! Do you have any specific areas of charting where shortcuts really shine for you?

Using macros can really speed up charting, especially for repetitive entries. I set up mine to fill in common assessments with just a few keystrokes — it’s like magic during a busy shift! Have you tried any automation tools yet?
I totally agree with the shortcuts; it’s like finding the ‘easy’ button on our charting system. Instead of just relying on the standard entries, I’ve started creating custom templates for common situations — like discharge summaries — to save even more time.
