Formatting Chart Notes
Please add more formatting options to chart notes. Things like bullets, bolding, underlining, color, etc. would be extremely helpful.

UPDATE: We are happy to report that, as of 4/24/2015, we have released the ability for chart notes to be formatted in the New EHR. You can learn about this commonly requested new feature here: http://knowledgebase.practicefusion.com/knowledgebase/articles/548442-how-do-i-use-rich-text-editing-when-charting-my-en
We are working on this feature now. It will be release into the New EHR in mid-April 2015!

Appreciate the bold, italics and underlines. Perhaps a few more features would enhance the note like color changes, isolate word or phrase for font or size changes, and highlight feature.

Hi Jennifer--you should submit that as a new idea so we can gather supporters and consider it separately. www.practicefusion.com/ideas

We would like to be able to have the ability to "bold" headings in the templates that we use regularly and will always be bold in the chart, without having to go back and bold them all after the fact. Is that something that's available?

Also the ability to have a Settings option of making the font larger and setting the Style for better legibility would be great, using the Word Page Layout and Font functions. I'd love to get rid of the color blocks that are so distracting and space-hogging, and also tighten up the line spacing, increase the font size, and make all the type black Ariel or Helvetica. White type on colored background has always been a design no-no in advertising and signage, it's just not very legible.

I love the idea of being able to format a more readable document and use bold face and italic.
Also, please pretty please give us a Control+Z "undo" function? The touchpad has a habit of highlighting and erasing big chunks of text due to random brushes by my hand or sleeve and I get so frustrated when I can't undo that and I have to re-write all of it. -
Hi there--that would be a good idea for you to add as a separate feature request so we can see how many supporters would also like this: www.practicefusion.com/ideas

Is there a way to format the Past Medical History in the patient's chart similar to this?

I agree with the above request regarding formatting. Also add Font size availability.
Thanks. -
Hi Katelyn--you can certainly choose not to utilize this in your practice if you would prefer not to.
