Patient records & documents
Pick up where the previous consultation ended
At a return visit, the doctor needs to know what was recorded, what was planned and what still needs checking. Dated consultations provide the starting point, with current background and follow-up tasks supporting continuity.
- Doctor
- Review the previous visit and check what has changed.
- Assistant
- Prepare the reports and follow-up context needed for review.
Select the relevant previous consultation
The dated record list lets the doctor open a specific consultation. Reading the earlier management and plan helps focus the return visit on unresolved questions rather than asking the patient to reconstruct the entire sequence.
- Identify the record by its visit date.
- Review symptoms, management and the return-visit plan.
Compare the record with current context
Within the consultation workspace, history and observations remain available for reference. The doctor compares the earlier record with the patient’s current account, distinguishing ongoing issues from changes and information that needs updating.
- Check for changes in medication and history.
- Reconfirm information relevant to the current visit.
Check what was arranged after the visit
Open relevant follow-up tasks to check any contact, investigation or other work arranged after the previous visit. The doctor and assistant can establish what has been handled and what still needs attention during the current visit.
- Read the task detail as well as its status.
- Record any new follow-up work clearly.
