Use Custom Instructions for preferences you want Skriber to follow repeatedly. Use Visit Context for facts or directions that apply only to one encounter.
Add or change instructions
Open a visit or note that uses the intended template.
Choose Custom Instructions.
Write short, specific preferences.

Good instruction examples
Use concise bullets in the Plan section.
Place medication changes under Assessment and Plan.
Do not include normal review-of-systems items unless discussed.
Use the heading 'Patient Instructions' at the end.
Avoid
patient-specific facts that belong only to one visit
instructions to invent details that were not captured
conflicting rules or long copied notes
Template versus instructions
The template controls the main structure and sections. Custom Instructions refine how the note is written. Ask support to change the template when the section structure itself is wrong.
