Tebra Custom Note Template — WPDM Psychiatric Initial Evaluation

Purpose: Recreate the structure of the WPDM™ Initial Evaluation provider checklist (HPI, Review of Systems, Mental Status Exam, and Risk domains) as a Tebra custom clinical note type with checkbox and +/− presence items.

This is the structure only. Tebra templates are static — they capture the provider's clicks but do not run the WPDM scoring or AI narrative generation. Document the encounter in Tebra using this template; if you still want the AI-generated note, generate it in the WPDM app and paste the finished narrative into the Assessment/Plan free-text.


Part 1 — Setup in Tebra (Clinical)

  1. Create the custom note type

    • Tebra Clinical → My Settings → Note Types → Create a Custom Note Type
    • Name: Psychiatric Initial Evaluation (WPDM)
    • Add sections: Chief Complaint / HPI, Review of Systems, Mental Status Exam, Risk Assessment, Psychiatric & Social History, Objective, Assessment, Plan
  2. Build a template per section

    • Open the section header in a note → Template → New custom template
    • Available item types you will use:
      • Checkbox → multi-select lists (WPDM check fields)
      • + / − presence → positive/negative (WPDM radio "Denies / Yes"; ROS status)
      • Numeric value → ratings, counts, hours (WPDM rating / number)
      • Free text / blank field → names, details (WPDM text / textarea)
    • Save each template; it then appears under Default → your custom template.

Part 3 — Notes for the Tebra builder

  • Conditional fields: Tebra templates have no true conditional logic. For "if Yes, then…" items (e.g., suicide attempt details), add the detail items immediately below the gating checkbox and instruct the provider to leave them blank when the answer is negative.
  • "+/−" items map directly to Tebra's presence toggle (green plus / red minus).
  • Numeric items: use the number-pad entry type; default to "Not documented" if left blank.
  • Free text: use blank-field items for narrative detail; keep labels short.
  • MSE "Mood (stated)": a short-answer field, not a checkbox — it captures the patient's own words.
  • This template mirrors the provider-documented encounter. Patient-completed pieces (PHQ-9, GAD-7, CAGE, consent/HIPAA/ROI) belong in Tebra Patient Intake custom forms (separate setup under Practice Settings → Patient Intake), not in this clinical note.
