Before draft reports can be edited, you must create "rendering templates" that are used to convert the CDA/XML document into an RTF file. Rendering templates are XML files that can be edited with Notepad or XML Notepad.

 

1.The rendering template should only specify the "body" of the report. No headers or page footers should be defined in the template, since these are taken care of by ChartNet.

2.The signature line can be included in the template, but if not, then you can have the form's Signature Block inserted at the end of the body. It is recommended to use the form's Signature Block and to not include the signature block lines in the rendering template.

3.Name the template according to the following filename rules. When the system needs to render the document, it will look for a template that matches the site, form, and doctor first. If no template exists, then it looks for one that matches the site and form. If none exists, then it looks for one that matches just the site. Using this technique allows you to minimize the number of templates.

a.template_[site].dsf

b.template_[site]_[form].dsf

c.template_[site]_[form]_[doctor].dsf

4.Save the rendering template to the \system\voicerec\Concord\RenderingTemplates folder.
