Patient History
Patient history is viewable through two main pathways, allowing you to access a patient's past consultations and records.
Method 1: Accessing History During a Consultation (Most Comprehensive)
When you are actively engaged in a consultation (as explained in the Administering Treatment / Vaccines section):
- Click the Patient's History button located at the top of the administration screen.
- This view shows all history for the specific patient in chronological order.
- The list includes the date of previous consultations and the days elapsed since then.
- Clicking the View PDG button next to a record allows you to view and download Patient History (Hx) within the group/organisation - not just the pharmacy providing the services today.
Method 2: Accessing History via Patient Records Section
You can also view patient history by navigating to the In Pharmacy > Patient Records section.
This shows Patient Hx as per your pharmacy - not the wider organisation. You can search for a specific patient using the filters at the top.
Select Manage > Consultation on the patient for a detailed PDF of the full consultation.
Important Visibility Constraint
Your organisation's configuration dictates how long records remain visible in this section:
- Limited Time Visibility: If your organisation restricts record visibility to a limited time, using the Patient's History button (Method 1) during a consultation will be your best option for full visibility.
- Full Visibility: If the limited time restriction has been disabled, you can use the filters at the top of the Patient Records page to search for any patient records administered in your current pharmacy branch.
