I wish the template editor would allow "sections" so that instructions can be clear for specific sections only (for example, bullets OK in HPI, but not medical history; include this whole section when discussing a certain complaint, but skip whole section if irrelevant, etc etc). This would also allow easier modification of a template - you could copy a whole section into other templates; move it around within the template, or modify it. Maybe even modify that particular section and apply those edits to all templates that have that "section."

I imagine the sections could include various details you like to include if someone has a certain chief complaint (I imagine I would have a "HPI section for dizziness", vs "HPI section for headaches", vs "HPI for memory loss", etc etc) that aren't relevant for other chief complaints.

In the future, if/when there are "macros" (e.g., "if we talk about headaches, include this section, but if not, skip"), it would be easier to apply to certain sections of the Template.

To be able to copy and paste by section

Add a button or clickable spot in templates to copy a section (such as Subjective or Objective) with a single click.

This would allow users to quickly copy specific sections of a SOAP note (like Subjective or Objective) without needing to highlight text manually. The rest of the section would still work for selective copy-paste. The template code would need to define start and stop points for each section and identify clickable text (like a hyperlink) to serve as the button.

Break down sections i.e. HPI, exam, A/P with copy sections to then copy/paste into specific sections of my EMR.
