Viewing Consultation History

Viewing Consultation History

The consultation history shows all completed consultations for a patient, grouped chronologically.

How to Get There

• Patient record > Clinical Record > Consultations
• Patient sidebar > Consultation History tab

Consultation List

Consultations are grouped by year and month. Each consultation card shows:

• Date and time
• Medium icon (face-to-face, telephone, video, or administration)
• Clinician name
• Problems discussed, each with an episode type badge
• Linked data counts - icons showing how many documents, medications, referrals, investigations, and invoices are linked
• Observation summary - key vital signs recorded during the consultation

Viewing a Consultation

Click a consultation card to expand it and see the full clinical record:

• Problem-specific clinical notes
• Linked documents and letters
• Social history panels
• Medications, procedures, observations, allergies, immunisations, and referrals
• Lab orders and invoices
• Medication administration summaries

Date Filtering

Use the date navigator to jump to a specific year or month. This is useful for patients with long consultation histories.

Draft Banner

If the patient has an open draft consultation, a banner appears at the top of the history view with a Continue button to resume editing.

Sidebar Access

The patient sidebar also shows recent consultations for quick reference without navigating to the full history view.

Tip: Use the linked data icons on consultation cards to quickly see which consultations involved prescribing, referrals, or lab orders without opening each one.
