Exercise 3

Consider the task of creating a summary report for clinical data collected over time and stored in an EHR system. Clinical laboratories traditionally provide summary test results in fl owsheet format, thus highlighting clinically important changes over time. A medical record system that contains information for patients who have chronic diseases must present serial clinical observations, history information, and medications, as well as laboratory test results. Suggest a suitable format for presenting the information collected during a series of ambulatory-care patient visits.
