Managing Patient Conditions in Chart Note
Overview
The Conditions section in the Provider Portal allows you to capture and validate a patient's primary and secondary conditions in a structured way. This ensures accurate documentation of clinical complexity, supports personalized care, and improves data quality for outcomes tracking.
Navigating the Conditions Section
The dedicated “Conditions” section is in the Assessment & Diagnosis tab of the chart note, directly beneath Patient and Family Medical History.
This section allows you to document the patient’s primary condition and any secondary conditions that may impact the care plan.
When completing this section:
Review the patient’s condition list (from the patient's sign-up form) during the initial session
Validate the primary condition - update as necessary based on clinical judgment
Add all relevant secondary conditions to create a full clinical picture
Check the confirmation box once review is complete - this step is required to sign and lock the chart note
The condition list is not visible to patients in the app or portal at this time.
Where to Find It
During a session:
Navigate to the Assessment & Diagnosis tab
You’ll see a new “Conditions” section with editable fields for primary and secondary conditions
Outside of a session:
You can also review or edit a patient’s condition list from their profile view
Under the patient’s name and contact info, you’ll see the current condition list and a ✏️ icon
Click the icon to make updates
When to Use It
Initial session:
This is the most important time to validate the primary condition and ensure the condition list is complete
Follow-up sessions:
You can adjust the condition list at any time based on new information
No additional prompt will appear, but the list remains editable in both the chart note and patient profile
