The Clinical Chart (EMR) interface displays a synchronized history of a patient's clinical events, and options for adding or updating information both during and after the patient's appointment.
While the Hard Tissue Chart provides a graphical display of rendered treatments, the Clinical Chart (EMR) displays a chronological, text-based view of clinical events that have occurred via the Hard Tissue Chart and corresponding clinical screens (such as the side panel of the Treatment Plan or the Orthodontic Clinical Summary).
You can use the Clinical Chart (EMR) to document walk-in appointments, manage current appointments, define chief concerns, create a lab case, and insert notes into events in the list.
Documented clinical events include:
- Charted observations, diagnoses, and existing restorations via Current mode the Hard Tissue Chart
- Patient's chief concern for the appointment
- Day-based clinical notes entered to document care
- Notes added to clinical events, such as procedures, that provide additional detail
- Questionnaires and correspondence that were flagged as clinical
- Lab cases
- Watches that were created to monitor potential concerns
- Procedures that have been scheduled, planned, or completed as part of patient care
- Prescription-based events, including drug order details and status updates of patient prescriptions.
