Quick Guide to Flash Reports

Creating your own flash reports

Flash reports enable healthcare professionals to populate a report with default values in one click, compiling key information and findings into a concise, easy-to-read format. This can save hours of repetitive documentation.

What are Flash Reports?

Flash reports are a way to automatically fill in a report in one click with pre-defined values. When you apply a flash report to an existing report, it will automatically override fields that are included in the flash report, even if those fields already had values.

For example:

  • If your flash report includes setting the "View" field to "Adequate view"
  • And before applying the flash report, that field was set to "Suboptimal"
  • When you apply the flash report, "Suboptimal" will be replaced with "Adequate view"

Fields not included in the flash report will remain unchanged.

Supported and Unsupported Fields

✅ Supported ❌ Not Supported
  • Manually typed text
  • Methods
  • Indications
  • Findings
  • Dropdowns
  • Maternal assessment (source of truth is Medical History)
  • Genitalia
  • Macros
  • Fetal Anatomy section
  • Measurements

How to Create a Flash Report

Step 1: Prepare Your Report

First, open a report and fill in the fields you want to include in your flash report template. These values will be the default values in your new flash report.

Step 2: Access Flash Report Creation

  • On the bottom bar of the report page, click on the ⚡Flash Report icon

  • Select "Save new" from the dropdown menu

  • A dialog will open asking you to name your flash report.

Step 3: Edit Mode

After naming your flash report, the system will enter edit mode with a distinct color scheme indicating you're in creation mode.

  • Fields that can be automated as part of the flash report will be highlighted

  • Fields that cannot be automated will be disabled

Step 4: Configure Your Flash Report

In edit mode:

  • You can click on and edit fields that can be automated
  • When you edit values in the highlighted fields, these will be saved as part of your flash report
  • Fields that are not highlighted cannot be included in your flash report

Step 5: Save Your Flash Report

  • Once you have configured all the fields you want to include, click "Save"
  • A confirmation message will notify you that your flash report is successfully created 🎉

Using Your Flash Reports

  • To apply a flash report, click on the Flash (⚡) icon in the report page
  • Select your flash report from the dropdown list
  • The system will automatically fill in the report with the values defined in your flash report

Note: Applying a flash report will override any existing values in fields that are included in the flash report. Make sure to apply flash reports before making custom edits to those fields.

Managing Flash Reports

Rename a Flash Report

  • Click on the Flash (⚡) icon
  • For an existing flash report, click "Edit"
  • Select "Rename"
  • Enter the new name and save

Delete a Flash Report

  • Click on the Flash (⚡) icon
  • For an existing flash report, click "Edit"
  • Select "Delete"
  • Confirm the deletion

Important: For now, you cannot edit an existing flash report. If you need to make changes, you'll need to delete it and create a new one.

Best Practices

  • Create separate flash reports for different exam types (a flash report is available only for the exam type it was created for)
  • Create different versions of flash reports for singleton vs. multiple pregnancies if needed
  • Use clear, descriptive names for your flash reports so other users can understand their purpose
  • Consider standardizing flash reports across your practice for consistency
  • Regularly review and update your flash reports as clinical practices change
