Viewing the patient record gives you easy access to the rest of their medical record.
Full patient details
I see that Miss Smith is living with her grandparents. We need to check if they can cope with her daily care once she is discharged.
Clinicians can view patient demographic details for a better picture of their background situation, which may have a bearing on their condition.
Encounter details
The patient's initial presenting symptoms did not match the current symptoms.
Each consultation is recorded against an encounter, and the history of information is accessible to other clinicians attending to the patient.
Progress Notes
Hmmm. She didn't have a fever on admission, although there was a rash.
The observations and notes taken by every attending clinician are listed collectively in the patient's progress notes.
Other Healthspring functions
Once the patient is selected, all other Healthspring functions are available to the clinician, such as — entering observations, ordering tests, viewing test results, prescribing medications, writing referrals and discharge letters, as well as capturing service charges.
