Medical Summary Examples 2023
In 2023 Telegenisys released a custom summary builder and medical dashboard for clients who wish to control their medical data presentations. This builder allows our clients to select the medical events they wish to include in presenting their medical data. Summary builder provides the ultimate power to adjust the medical summary to the exact needs of a specific use case.
Telegenisys is a leading provider of medical summaries. It has over 100 different formats for a variety of use cases. There are two dimensions to these summaries. One is the use case, and the second is the format and method of presentation. Distinct formats are Tabular, Narrative, and Annotative. Most of the formats are a hybrid of these attributes. We start with a presentation of summary types.
Telegenisys distinguishes summaries and medical chronologies in the following ways:
- Chronologies display all dates of medical service (medical events) in a patient record, while summaries are curated selections of those medical events relevant to a particular use case.
- Chronologies come with a medical database that allows the user to extract medical data and view it in spreadsheets and doc files or export them to other applications for research, case management, or underwriting case databases.
- Medical summaries can be presented as doc files, spreadsheets, or integrated into the pdf binders Telegenisys creates for chronologies. Telegenisys has developed linking technology that allows a user to refer to specific parts of text in a medical record.
Medical Summary examples below display a variety of use cases and formats that can be further customized to a client’s requirement.
