Clinical Information (Web App)

Why Use This Function:

The Sideroom Investigations function provides a structured way to capture and interpret quick diagnostic results during a General Examination, supporting informed clinical decisions without requiring extensive laboratory processing. By recording key indicators such as glucose levels, lipid profiles, urate levels, and infection or condition statuses, Practitioners gain instant insight into the Patient’s metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and potential infectious diseases.

These results play a vital role in early detection, appropriate treatment planning, and ongoing monitoring, especially for chronic or high-risk conditions. Recording results in a consistent digital format ensures clinical information remains accurate, traceable, and easily accessible, enabling efficient consultation, improved continuity of care, and better overall Patient outcomes.

💡Please Note: Abnormal results levels will be highlighted in red.
