Document templates are pre-built "forms", that serve as a starting point for new client documents. Templates can include chart notes, online forms, electronic agreements, client goal summaries, and doctor's letters.
When you set-up your Kalix account, you will select the templates you wish to use. Access Kalix's Template Library to copy and customize templates to meet your practice's specific needs.
Alternatively, use Kalix's Template Builder to create your own templates from scratch. Kalix also has a preloaded "basic document" available in your account under System Templates.
