When documenting a condition as positive/present, how do you make that indication?

To document a condition as positive or present, clicking the plus sign is the standard method. This action clearly signifies that the condition is acknowledged and recorded as occurring. In medical documentation and electronic health records, the plus sign is commonly used to denote the presence of a condition or symptom, providing a straightforward visual representation that can be easily understood by healthcare professionals.

In contrast, other actions such as clicking the minus sign or right-clicking would not appropriately document a condition as positive. A minus sign typically indicates the absence of a condition, while right-clicking usually opens additional options or settings rather than indicating a positive documentation choice. The digital pen tool can be used for annotations or drawings but is not specifically tied to the standardized method of marking a condition as present. Thus, utilizing the plus sign streamlines the documentation process and enhances clarity for anyone reviewing the patient's records.
