Patient evaluations
Patient Evaluations Overview
You use the Patient Evaluations area within Charts to create patients, locate existing records, and run evaluations against patient data. This section covers the full workflow from patient creation through evaluation execution.
Creating New Simulated Patients
You create simulated patients by specifying demographic characteristics. When setting up a new simulated patient, you select from the following options:
Age Range
Choose the age group that fits your evaluation scenario:
- Neonates -- Newborn patients
- Infants -- Early childhood patients
- Children -- Pediatric patients
- Adolescents -- Teenage patients
- Adults -- Adult patients
- Older Adults -- Geriatric patients
Gender
Select the gender for your simulated patient. The platform generates appropriate demographic and clinical data based on your age range and gender selections.
Searching and Filtering Patients
Search by Name
You locate specific patients by typing their name into the search bar. The search updates results as you type, making it easy to find a patient quickly in a large list.
Filter Patients
You narrow your patient list using the available filter options:
- Recent -- View patients you have accessed or modified most recently.
- Deleted -- View patients that have been removed, in case you need to reference previous records.
- All -- View every patient in your account without any filters applied.
Running Evaluations
You run evaluations by selecting a patient and choosing the evaluation you want to administer. The evaluation loads the patient's chart data and presents the clinical assessment workflow. As you complete the evaluation, Charts captures and stores the results against the patient's record.
Reviewing Results
After you complete an evaluation, the results appear in the patient's chart. You review scores, responses, and any clinical output generated by the evaluation. Over time, you build a history of evaluation results for each patient, allowing you to track progress and identify trends.
Managing Multiple Evaluations
You can run multiple evaluations against the same patient. Each evaluation produces its own set of results, giving you a comprehensive view of the patient's clinical profile across different assessment tools.
