Patient documentation – the foundation of professional practice management

Comprehensive patient documentation of care and therapy forms the basis for professional treatment, accurate billing and communication with different doctors and therapists. In our product range, you will find the right equipment for therapy reports, medical histories, cost estimates along with everything related to practice management.

What does patient documentation involve?

Within the context of treatment, patient documentation encompasses thorough, structured and chronological patient registration. This includes information gathered during the initial consultation and treatment, such as medical history, treatments received from different doctors and therapists, the medical history, treatment methods, along with therapy results, supporting documents, images and findings.

The contents of patient documentation and fully completed patient records include, in detail:

• Medical history and findings: The patient’s medical history along with their current physical condition form the first step towards successful treatment. This relies on the professionally sound recording of patient data – ranging from contact and personal details to health status, medical history and examination findings. Thanks to updates, you can be confident that you can rely on chronologically nourished, traceable and complete patient documentation and medical history.
• Treatment plans and reports: Treatment plans are developed based on the medical history. To record treatment methods, prescriptions, dosages and the duration of the prescription, thorough treatment documentation and complete treatment reports are therefore essential – including optional photos. All documentation is stored permanently in accordance with legal requirements.
• Consent, Information and Cost Estimates: To ensure that patients stay informed about the aim, procedure and possible risks of a treatment, you need consent forms and information sheets. This reserves you against legal disputes and provides your patients with the greatest possible transparency regarding their treatment.
• Medical letters: Another important part of patient documentation involves all communication with other treating doctors or therapists, with health insurance providers or other relevant authorities. Templates for medical letters are used for this purpose.
