About Well Visit: History

Path: Clinical, Practice Management, or Billing tab > Patient Chart button > Well Visits > New or Open Note button > History

The History window documents a patient’s history. The Patient History captures and displays multiple sections of the patient's history (Past Medical, Family History, Social History, and Perinatal History) in a simple-to-use and easy-to-read format. This section of the Well Visit Note is chart-driven, meaning that the information populated here is pulled from and pushed back to the same section in the Patient Chart.
