Medical history chart notes

Medical history chart notes

Medical history chart notes are stored separately from the regular chart notes, they can be found on the patient’s chart overview under the problem history.


Placing these chart notes in a separate location from the regular day-to-day notes offers one major benefit; the ability to quickly access and review them without having to scroll through a potentially extensive list of chart notes. This streamlined access saves valuable time and enhances efficiency.

Additionally, including the ASaP (Alberta Screening and Prevention) template in the medical history location as well further enhances the convenience of reviewing relevant information promptly.
