Here’s what you’ll be looking at when you open the QUICK START EXERCISE TOLERANCE TEST TEMPLATE:
MAs can enter the information in these sections. They transcribe it from our stress worksheets.
Data is entered into these report sections in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get format.
It’s very straightforward and takes 2 minutes per report.
Blue fields: These fields are typed into with the keyboard
- Don’t make any changes to these for now
Gray fields: These IAC-required fields are dropdowns (they can also be typed into for rare findings)
- Explore the choices in these fields if you like
- Click in the gray, then click the down arrow that appears to see your choices
- You may make changes to fields with entries if you like
Note: If the arrows for the dropdowns are not appearing, adjust the zoom of the document using the + and – buttons or the slider at the far right, far bottom Word – this will make the dropdowns arrows appear.
Yellow fields: Also dropdowns, but only sometimes required (for example, millimeters of ST depression is only relevant when there is ST depression)
- Explore the available choices in yellow dropdowns, but don’t make changes for now.
Fields with asterisks (********):
- These will be populated by the report automation programming later.
