What it does

One visit, worked in turn by the people in the room.

The medical assistant and the provider work the same page, one after the other. What follows is built today; what is still being built is listed further down, and says so.

  • Briefing

    Before anybody walks in.

    • What the last visit decided, diagnosis by diagnosis, and its plan
    • Results back since, each a task for whoever ordered it until it is looked at
    • Orders from earlier visits that are still out
    • Calls and refill requests since the last visit, and what the patient did in Navia before coming
    • Care that is due, and how the screeners have moved

An exam that starts out normal.

  • Monitoring from the practice's own protocols, with what is overdue raised
