1. Snippets and Variables in the wawa platform
2. How they Work
Configuring Snippets
Visit your Clinic Settings, and navigate to the “Snippets” tab.
View, Edit, or Delete pre-existing snippets by clicking on the ••• menu to the right of the snippet
Create a new Snippet by clicking “+ New Snippet”
Add the keyword that will appear when searching for the snippet
Enter the text that you want to appear in the snippet
Click “Create”
Want to make a Snippet when not in the clinic settings? Summon the Command Bar, and type ".add"
Using Snippets
In Template Creation
Navigate to your letter or note template, and find the “Snippets” section of the right-hand of the page. Simply click on the snippet you wish to add, and it will be added to the template.
In the Platform
Use Snippets when creating Patient Notes, Encounter Notes, Patient Letters, and more by summoning the Command Bar, then typing “.” which will bring up the option to select one of your Snippets. You will identify your Snippet based upon the keyword you set up during configuration. Click on the Snippet option and it will be inserted!
Using Variables
Use variables when creating templates in order to automate the population of information from the patient, partner, or care team member profile(s).
In your template creator, click on the “Variables” section on the right-hand side, and either scroll through or search for the relevant variable.
Click on the variable to add it to the spot where you currently have clicked on the template.
Want to move the variable’s location? Re-click somewhere else and re-add the variable, or copy and paste the variable to the correct location.
When sending the template, the information will auto-populate with the information available from the platform.
The “Partner: if exists?” Variable is used to easily hide or unhide the text within the variable based on whether or not a patient has a partner. To use this variable, add the variable to the template, and then edit the text between the two brackets, either “Patient does not have a current partner” or “Patient has a current partner” as needed.
