Visit summaries capture the essential details of each telehealth consultation, providing clear documentation of findings, treatment plans, and follow-up recommendations.
Components of a Visit Summary
Each summary typically includes:
- Chief Complaint & History: A concise overview of the patient’s reported concerns and relevant background.
- Clinical Findings: Key observations, vital signs, and any assessments performed during the session.
- Diagnosis & Plan: Treatment recommendations, prescribed therapies or medications, and care objectives.
- Follow-Up Steps: Recommended next steps, such as scheduling additional tests or lifestyle modifications.
Downloading & Archiving
Visit summaries can be saved as PDFs for secure record-keeping. Simply choose the download option next to the summary you need, then store it in your practice’s electronic filing system for easy future reference.
Sharing with Patients & Teams
Summaries are designed for efficient sharing. Encrypted links allow you to send a secure copy to patients or collaborating clinicians, ensuring everyone stays informed without compromising privacy.
Best Practices
- Review summaries promptly after each visit to reinforce care plans
- Highlight action items for support staff and patients to follow
- Maintain a consistent archive structure—by date or patient name—for quick retrieval
By leveraging detailed visit summaries, you ensure continuity of care, enhance patient engagement, and streamline collaboration across your care team.
