Chart divider questions
What sections go in a medical chart?
There is no single required standard — it depends on your specialty and how your practice charts. Common sections for a general/family practice are Progress Notes, Labs, Imaging, Medications, Immunizations, Consults, Correspondence, and Billing. Cardiology adds EKG and Echo; inpatient charts add a Face Sheet, Physician Orders, and a Medication Administration Record (MAR). This tool gives a sensible starting set for several specialties that you can rename and reorder to fit your office.
How should I color-code chart sections?
Assign one color per section and use it consistently on every chart, keeping neighboring tabs high-contrast so staff can find a section from across the room without reading labels. A common scheme is Progress Notes blue, Labs yellow, EKG/diagnostics red, Consults green, Medications orange, and Misc gray. On custom tabs the color lives in the Mylar tab (19 Mylar colors) or the whole poly divider (11 colors).
How do I turn this list into printed chart dividers?
Build your section list here, click Copy, then open the Tabzoola designer and choose “Paste a list.” Each section lands on its own tab in order. Pick each tab's color to match your scheme, choose wipe-clean poly or Mylar-reinforced paper, add 3-hole punching, and approve a free PDF proof before anything prints. Reorder the identical set anytime as your practice grows.
