What is in a patient’s EMR
The patient record has several tabs:
- Overview: Patient details, allergies, active conditions, a medical summary, clinical summary, and past medical history. The summary can also show counts for bills, prescriptions, lab tests, appointments, and admissions, plus billed and outstanding amounts.
- Problems: A list of conditions with their status and, where entered, severity, ICD-10 code, onset date, and notes.
- Timeline: A chronological view of recorded bills, prescriptions, lab tests, appointments, admissions, discharges, and vital-sign readings. Use the filters to focus on one type of event.
- History: Surgical history, family history, and immunizations.
- Social: Lifestyle information such as smoking, alcohol use, occupation, exercise, diet, and living status.
Note:The page heading mentions referral records, but the EMR tabs shown in the application do not have a separate referral tab. Referral information may be documented in another relevant record, such as an appointment or admission.

Warning:Follow your organization’s correction process when changing existing clinical information, and do not enter unverified details.
Timeline, refresh, and print
Timeline events are grouped by month. Select a type filter to narrow the list, or All to show every available event. Some events include extra details, such as appointment notes, prescription medicines, or vital-sign alerts.
Use Refresh to reload the record and Print EMR to print the current patient record.
Tip:Before printing, confirm you opened the correct patient.
Important notes
Note:Opening a patient’s EMR automatically creates an empty EMR record if one does not exist yet.
Warning:The allergy banner uses allergies recorded on the patient profile. Check allergy details carefully before care decisions.
Note:The EMR summary combines information from different modules. A count or timeline entry reflects records saved elsewhere in the app; it does not replace those source records.
Warning:EMR contains sensitive patient information. Open and print records only when you are authorized and need them for your work.
