Record vitals

Structured vitals make trends visible and keep measurements connected to the correct patient and visit.

1. Confirm the patient and visit

Open the current encounter and verify the patient before entering a measurement.

2. Enter the available measurements

Record weight, temperature, pulse, respiration, pain score, and other available values using the clinic’s standard units.

3. Review for outliers

Check unexpected values before saving. Review the weight and vital history when a change may affect care or dosing.
