Patient summaries

Summary Views provide access to all files and information recorded for the patient. Right-click options are available for most items and give access to functions such as open, view, send and action.

  • Allergies (MHR) - The patient's recorded allergies.

  • Medications - All prescriptions added in Zedmed's Drugs module.
  • Images (SS) (P) - All images uploaded or scanned for the patient
  • Incoming documents (P) - All letters scanned or uploaded for the patient.

Summary View options

The codes MHR, SS and P are used in the list above to show where these options are available. 

MyHealthRecord (MHR)

The Results, Immunisations and Allergies tabs have an Include MHR icon that can be toggled on and off to include information uploaded by other healthcare providers. MHR information appears with an Australia icon (screenshot above), and you can double-click any record to open it in ZedMed's viewer.

Secure Send (SS)

Secure Send allows you to send files to patients from Images, Attachments and Results (Zedmed v37 and later) and Referrals. To use Secure Send, right-click the file and select Send to Patient.

Paperclip (P)

Results, Images, Documents, Attachments and Incoming Documents have a paperclip icon to upload files to that Summary View. To add a file, select the paperclip and browse for the file's location.

Preview letters

When you click on a supported document in Summary Views, a preview opens beside it. This feature supports all items in the Documents tab and tabs that contain 'Letters'. It does not support images, provider file formats and MyHealth Record. For example, you cannot preview a pathology referral, but you can preview a referral letter. Selecting an unsupported format will do nothing.

Use the Preview menu to zoom in and out, move to the next page and print. The zoom level will be retained for that session. 

Document Preview is enabled by default. It can be disabled under My Options > Enable Document Preview.
