Description
Measurements are a handy tool for keeping track of patient data, like vital signs and clinical metrics. They let you see historical trends, making it easier to make informed decisions. You can easily create, edit, and archive these Measurements and view them in various areas of the application.
Some common tasks you will perform with this feature include:
-
- Record and edit Measurements for the patient, including:
- Blood Pressure
- BMI
- Heart Rate
- Height
- Temperature
- Weight
- Record and edit Measurements for the patient, including:
-
- Create new Measurements from the chart, index, or files
- View and comment on the Measurement’s timeline
- Archive Measurements
You can find this feature right in the clinician's workflow during patient visits, accessed through:


A. Chart Notes: to be created and edited during patient encounters
B. Measurement Index: consolidated view of all patient Measurements with the ability to create and edit measurements
C. Patient Sidebar: for quick access to recent Measurements during patient interactions
D.File View: Enables Measurement creation directly from File workflows
