Use case

Review new results against the history

Add the new results next to last year's and your visit note. Ask what changed and which results bear on the patient's complaint.

A doctor asking which cardiovascular risk factors are documented, and the answer listing each one with its source, starting with chest radiotherapy found in a 2009 oncology letter

The situation

Start from a real clinical day

Dr. Alex Sample, a family physician, saw Jane Doe, 64, with three months of fatigue and requested blood tests. The results are back, and earlier results sit in last year's files.

He wants to see the change, not only the latest values, before he calls her.
