What is CatchPhrase™ and how do I use it?

CatchPhrase™ is a powerful compliment to MyEMR^® for Windows.  CatchPhrase™ with random text generation allows you to create phrases and boilerplates once, and use them over again in your notes and narratives.

How to access CatchPhrase™

CatchPhrase is accessed by licking the red book icon on the upper right corner next to Documents. 
Clicking the red book launches CatchPhrase™ as a 'floating' Window that can be moved and positioned
anywhere on the screen.

Using CatchPhrase™

When you launch CatchPhrase, you will see a Category drop-down box and a Drag & Drop Mnemonics box.  
The Category Drop-down allows you to choose the category.  The Drag & Drop Mnemonics are the list of items
you can drag and drop into your notes or reports. 

1. Decide what phrase you are going to use
2. Decide where you want the phrase.
3. Drag & drop the phrase where you want it to be located .
4. For example, drag a Plan phrase and drop it in the Plan section of the note.

Customizing CatchPhrase™

You may add as many categories and phrases as you like to CatchPhrase.

Adding/Renaming/Deleting and Sorting Items

Items in CatchPhrase consist of a Mnemonic and a Description.  The Mnemonic is what appears in the list under the category.  The Description is the text that is displayed when you drag & drop the mnemonic.  There can be several iterations for a description allowing CatchPhrase to randomize the text dropped into the note.  Additionally, you can define leading and trailing punctuation for the item.

Adding items

• Right-click anywhere in the Drag & Drop Mnemonics box and choose Add Item.
• Enter the mnemonic you want to appear in the list.
• Type in the first description iteration you want to paste when you drag & drop this item.
• Optionally, you may choose to create multiple iterations for this description by clicking the arrows under Random Iteration # to have Catchphrase randomize the phrase pasted in the note.
• By default, the item is placed where you drop it.  You also may choose to add leading and trailing punctuation to format how the phrase is added to the note.
• When you are finished adding iterations, click OK.

Editing/Renaming/Deleting items

• To edit an existing item, right-click the item and choose Properties & Randomize.
• Here you can change the mnemonic, description, add or change iterations, and add or change punctuation.  Then click OK. 
• To just rename the mnemonic, right-click the item and choose Rename Mnemonic.  Change the name and click OK.
• To delete an item, right-click the item and choose Delete Item.

You may sort the mnemonics in a category by clicking an item and using the Sort Mnemonic in Category arrows to move that item up or down in the list.
