+## Notes for Using This Template
+
+**Best Practices:**
+- Document as soon as possible after encounter
+- Be specific and objective in observations
+- Avoid copy-forward errors
+- Review and update problem list
+- Sign and date all entries
+- Use standard abbreviations only
+
+**Billing Considerations:**
+- Document medical necessity
+- Match documentation level to billing code
+- For time-based billing, document total time and counseling time
+- Include relevant history, exam, and MDM elements
+
+**Legal Considerations:**
+- Document facts, not opinions
+- Quote patient when relevant
+- Document non-compliance objectively
+- Never alter records - use addendum for corrections
+- Ensure legibility
+
+**Customization:**
+- Adapt level of detail to setting (quick outpatient visit vs. complex hospital consultation)
+- Include or exclude sections as relevant
+- Follow institutional templates if required
+- Use problem-oriented approach consistently
