Adding Family History to a Patient's Chart

You can add your patient's family history to their chart. Once entered into the chart, this data is included in the clinical summary with referrals and C-CDA files for the patient.

Note: Family history can also be documented in the clinical note or through OnPatient and the Check-In App. However, that information is not automatically added to the patient's chart. It remains in the note, but that information can be entered into the chart with these steps.

1. To add a patient's family history go to their chart and select Family History.
