Keyboard enhancements were created to allow users to quickly move in a downward direction - occasionally horizontal or reversed - through fields, saving time and often reducing the need to use a mouse.
Note: Tabbing moves you to each field quickly and through to the most common ‘next’ step/action button at the bottom of each screen - e.g., Patient Presentation (Infection Control Screen), Continue Triage (Patient Presentation screen), or I’m Done Triage (Triage Assessment screen). *If a screen has other options available at that point, tabbing again, moves (left) for easy access. Hit Enter on the keyboard to select. |
