Examples of information that can be added here include: - Patient context shared before the visit. - Specific concerns to pay attention to. - Relevant history or background details. - Instructions that may help guide the final note. Next to the Note tab is the **‘Select template’** dropdown. This allows you to select the appropriate documentation format for the encounter. You should choose the template that best matches the type of visit or documentation required before starting the consult. ![](https://info.wellstar.health/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-2.png?width=670&height=372&name=undefined-2.png) At the bottom of the screen, the transcription language is displayed.
