The reference panel is a feature that offers a convenient way to access a patient's most recent labs, requisitions, intake forms, etc. It remains visible as you navigate the patient's record, allowing for quick and easy reference. Additionally, it enables the clinician to add new items to the record while remaining in the current chart note.
Find the reference panel along the right side of the patient chart, click on ‘Show Reference Panel.’
