In the physical exam charting of the encounter note, providers can now create tables for cleaner data displays. A new Table icon
is introduced on the Configure Physical Exam screen to create tables.
Note: The Table icon also appears against each finding in the grid. You can create a table for each finding separately if you wish to do so.
