Description
This article demonstrates how to create question components for a Note Template that can be used for a patient's regular hygiene appointment.
About
Questions are used as the building blocks of Note Templates. Create a set of questions that fit the specific needs of the patients and appointments for your clinic rather than following this example exactly as it is laid out. This is intended to assist and give ideas so the end result fits the needs of the hygiene program of the office.
