The flagship
Notes by Group (NBG)
Chart notes, regrouped by the perspective that matters to you.
NBG is the most-used M-page in the HeuriSTX family. It surfaces the most relevant documentation for the user's specialty first, instead of dumping every note in chronological order and hoping you'll scroll.
What it does
How NBG works in the chart
- Reorganizes the patient's note history by specialty, provider, and clinical context, in real time, the moment the chart opens.
- Lets the provider flex the view: see notes from your specialty, your group, a related specialty, or the full chart, in a single click.
- Works as a first landing page in the chart for many providers, the page they go to before anything else.
Who uses it
Primary users in production
- Physicians and APPs doing chart review before an encounter
- Nurses and MAs preparing for patient calls or visits
- Locums and residents who don't know the provider roster
- Hospitalists looking at the cardiology view, then the GI view, then back
Why teams pick it up
The benefits providers feel on day one
Less scroll, more signal
Cerner's standard tools require a lot more clicking and changing search values. NBG eliminates the navigation expertise tax.
Specialty-aware out of the box
Configuration knows the difference between cardiology, derm, and an NP working in family medicine, and surfaces what each cares about.
Production-proven
Currently on version 7. Continuously deployed across 40+ practices at Billings Clinic for 12+ years.
