Structured consultation

Overview

Hero Health's Structured Consultation functionality takes patient data capture to the next level by enabling users to complete customisable templates. Unlike the Quick Consultation feature, which captures unstructured text, Structured Consultation allows for the collection of granular, structured data through a variety of input types. These include short or long text fields, observations (e.g., blood pressure, height, weight), file uploads, radio buttons, and checkboxes.

This feature is ideal for capturing detailed clinical information, patient feedback, or other structured data, which is then saved directly to the patient's record. By embedding this functionality into your application, you can provide a robust and flexible solution for capturing and managing patient data without needing to access EMIS or TPP directly.
