Common TRAK Shortcuts
Trak has many Canned Text shortcuts that insert a template of text that you can then edit. These are useful for saving you time and ensuring you don’t miss something.
Many of the Trak Canned Text shortcuts are specific to each Speciality and you should be told about these when you receive your local induction to that ward or unit. You can also ask the doctors you are taking over from for the ones that are most useful to them.
The following is a list of commonly used Canned Text shortcuts that are useful wherever you are working, as chosen by current FY1s.
To use, simply type the code into the patient notes text box, then hit the <Spacebar> key.
For example, type \IDL then press the spacebar to display the Discharge Letter template.
| \IDL | Immediate Discharge Letter |
| \IDLGM | Immediate Discharge Letter (Gen Med specific) |
| \IDLGS , \IDLCA etc | Specific Discharge Letter templates for certain clinical areas – ask which one your area uses |
| \TTT | Falls Checklist – used when you document a review you do for any patient who has fallen whilst in hospital |
