The information in the Patient History tab is specific to the patient (not the condition) and will generally not be used for most conditions. There are some variables (i.e. Hospitalized, Medications) that are also in the condition specific screens. Make sure to enter the information regarding the condition in the condition specific screens and not in Patient History!

When to Use Patient History The contacts screen should be used to document the parent/guardian information. Information regarding immunizations from MOHSAIC will be available through the vaccinations link. –Make sure vaccine information is entered into MOHSAIC.

Note the History Tab is collapsed! The History Tab will not be used for most cases and therefore you can usually leave the tab collapsed and skip over to the conditions! Do not enter condition specific information into the History Tab Fields!
