Noticons?
Noteicons?
eNoteicons since these are e-notes?
Using CIX as I do for LMC business, I have noticed an ameol add-on
which when the mousepointer hovers over an acronym pops up a tool
tip translating it.
This might well be a useful addition to clinical systems.
It would be quite possible to localise, and to arrange that when the
patient note file is extracted for onward transmission or as a web
page to the co-op, the practice's particular abbreviations which
appear in it are appended in a footnote.
Indeed, Smith's sign could beexplained as one of the footnotes[1]<g>
