According to the Wiki at http://www.oemr.org/modules/wiwimod/

CAMOS (Computer Aided Medical Ordering System) is, on the surface, just a fancy interface for organizing and choosing pieces of text to insert into a patient’s chart. It is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. It can be turned on in OpenEMR via the admin->forms menu.

I have found it very useful in entering returning patients office visit notes and codes for billing.  The clone function will bring info from last visit very easily.  Hui

Hello @Regan_Nsiah
Have you looked over the CAMOS docs in the wiki?
https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=20&offset=20&profile=default&search=camos+
That link gives you the search you would get by using the search tool at the bottom of each wik page, like so:

I looked at the video ‘CAMOS OpenEMR plugin form’
at Videos and Animations - OpenEMR Project Wiki

At 16sec into the video I see a collection of cpt and ICD codes at the top of the screen, looks like what they have in ‘Advanced Usage’ on the CAMOS wiki page, talking about the ‘billing’ function:
https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/CAMOS_module#Advanced_Use

That is the only mention I can find of adding codes to a CAMOS form.
It appears that you need to add the codes relevant to the subject of each note which is saved for re-use, rather than entering them on the fly as you write the note.

Maybe some other community members have a better explanation?
Good luck!
