Templates are used to streamline physician documentation. Kareo EHR provides over 100 library templates. The Template
Editor allows you to modify an existing template, rename it and then save it as your own. Templates you create can be selected
when creating a note. You can also share custom templates with other providers or clinical assistants within the practice

Note that templates cannot currently be deleted, only inactivated (meaning they will not show up in the list when using
templates)

2. Click Templates in the left menu

a list of all

Inactivate or Reactivate a Template

within a note, making a search more efficient. Inactivating a template simply removes the template from view and does not
delete it from the system

1. In Kareo EHR, click My Settings in the top right of the window

2. Click Templates in the left menu. The window defaults to active templates
