How does the use of default values save time for the office staff? Give an example.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. When the staff is collecting a surgical history in a pediatric practice, the default value for the question on "previous surgery" would be negative because, statistically, most of the patients have not had surgery. This will save a keystroke for the care provider, as the vast majority of patients will answer no. If the answer is yes, then the care provider will change the answer.
