How to Use the Chronic Conditions Panel

The user manual is currently being updated with new features. An updated version will be available shortly. We thank you for your patience.

A Chronic Condition is an illness that lasts a long time or recurs frequently. A Chronic Condition is a health condition or disease that has long-term or persistent effects or a disease that develops over time. When a disease's course lasts more than three months, it is referred to as chronic. The purpose of capturing Chronic Conditions is to advise a practitioner that the patient has long-lasting illnesses and/or conditions.

Capturing a patient's chronic conditions enables the practitioner to manage the condition/illness. It is critical to keep track of chronic diseases because it assists the practitioner in future treatments. Adding Chronic Conditions can also assist when a patient is unconscious and not able to communicate what their conditions are. This will assist the treating practitioner to determine how to treat the patient.
