The Patient Medical Summaries are clinical documents that include basic medical information to ensure safe and secure healthcare. It includes general patient demographic information and a basic medical summary consisting of allergies, medical problems, medical implants, recent surgeries and medications. This information is intended to provide essential electronic patient health information to other health providers for the continuity of care of the patient. This information is also intended to provide patients with information about their medical encounter including updated medication list, updated vitals, procedures, clinical instructions, medications administered, follow up information and lab results.

 

NOTE: Facilities outside of the United States may choose a date format of MMDDYY, DDMMYY, or YYMMDD to be used on all date fields in the Patient Medical Summaries Application. Where four-digit dates display, a date format of MMDD, DDMM or MMDD, respectively, will be used. Whichever date format is selected will be reflected in all date fields and column displays throughout the application. A TruBridge Representative should be contacted in order for the date format to be changed.
