Psychiatry: The EHR needs to have a Summary Tab along the top of each client profile for tracking important things like Medications (current & past), Vitals, Social History, DX, Etc. Right now there is no way to track and monitor vitals, labs, social history...The only useful provider tabs are Diagnosis & Plans. You have to dig through the timeline and read old notes....very bad. I was looking to switch our psychiatry practice over but this just won't work making the providers open up their old notes to keep an eye on these important things. All other EHRs have a summary page for each client that keeps all of this very important information saved for quick access to view historical information. If anyone has suggestions please help me, otherwise I really like PracticeQ. See the picture from CharmEHR, look at all of the different Tabs/options that save all of this very important information.

I use a matrix question on my notes that are pinned for my vitals and it pulls it over for each note. not the best, but it works for us. You could also use a matrix style question that is pinned to track labs, prescription history and social family history pulled over from the intake note and then add to it as needed with each appointment. Currently I am only doing that with vitals and labs.

There are several posts in suggesting adding features about adding tabs such as one in your picture. So when you're reviewing notes you can click a tab and jump right to the section you need to read. Otherwise, for now, we will have to scroll up and down and play "Where's Waldo" looking for specific items ....

Jill Karelitz I really like PracticeQ but it's not quite ready for anything beyond basic documentation, might work well for a therapist. The Forms are amazing. But they really need to add more Tabs or a Summary page with sections to keep a history of important information like: vitals, social history, DX, medications, family history, labs, etc. Doesn't seem like it would be hard to add these sections.

You can enable a “comments” tab which lets you write in anything you want but is still not part of the medical record, this is my workaround

You make a good point, the clean and uncluttered approach is one of PracticeQ's strong points. There are alternative ways to collect and track vitals, labs, without digging around in old notes. There's mapping and pinning, and there's 3rd party integrations for tracking vitals without leaving a chart.

Andrew Shirk How do you track vitals? I haven't found a way to do this aside from entering them manually in my note

Rhianna Candido i have this question on my note and pinned so each visit I add to it. You can also click display text box at the end for further explanation and that can be pulled over as well and added too.
