Patient Notes can be used to leave reminders, communications, or administrative information about the patient. They are a great way to communicate vital clinical or administrative information about the patient between clinic staff, or between clinic and RhythmScience teams. You can add patient notes either from the patient profile page, or from the Review window when you are in a patient's report.

You can click on the patient's name to access the patient's profile page. On the profile page, the Patient Notes can be found on the right section.

Communication Logs - This is where the user can document any communication made with the patient through calls or emails.

Administrative - Any notes related to appointments or would not otherwise be considered a clinical or communication log. Examples include: billing information, patient transfer information, etc.
