Adding to a Patient's Medical History

To add to a patient's medical history, navigate to the patient's Profile tab and click on the New button in the Medication History panel.
​

A new Medical History entry field will appear with a smart search drop down of SNOMED diagnoses that you can select from. You can also enter your own custom diagnosis in this field.

🌟TIP: For quicker entry of medical history data, press the "Tab" key to automatically add a new medical history entry field.

To add additional details to a medical history diagnosis, click on the info icon beside a medical history entry.
​

This will launch the Edit Medical History dialogue. Here you can:

  • Add an ICD-9 code for your diagnosis, by either manually typing the code if known or selecting a code from the ICD-9 smart search dropdown.

  • Favourite a frequently-used ICD-9 code by clicking on the star icon on the right of the ICD-9 code field.

  • Add comments to your diagnosis.

🌟TIP: ICD-9 codes that are starred for billing (by clicking on the billing icon on the right of the ICD-9 code text field) will auto populate as the patient's ICD-9 code when you create a new billing.

Resolving a Patient's Medical History

You can resolve a condition in the patient's Medical History panel by checking off the circle located on the left of a diagnosis. Doing so will mark the diagnosis as "Inactive".
