Pre-visit Summary
Pre-visit summaries set clinicians up for success in the patient visit with all the pertinent information at their fingertips. However, clinicians are often burdened with the task of gathering the information or receive varied formats that make it difficult to quickly locate what they need. Any incomplete, inconsistent, or inaccurate information in the summaries can lead to misinformed decision-making.
