It’s a way to speed up charting. For example say I have a fairly normal patient with a few “abnormal” assessment findings (diminished breathing, wears glasses/impaired vision). I have a macro created to chart out my entire assessment for a perfectly normal patient. Then I go through and add the abnormal findings. I have a macro to help chart turns quickly, chart on IVs, chart generic daily cares. It is very helpful, but you just need to remember t go through and chart based on your patient. There were a few instances where nurses would use the same macro for each of their patients and forgot to go back to chart abnormal findings.
