🩺 Vitals & Measurements

Practices whose charts include vitals (for example pediatrics, physical therapy, dental, and family practice) have a Vitals tab on each patient's chart.

Adding vitals

Choose + Add vitals on the Vitals tab and enter any of:

• blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and oxygen saturation;
• weight (lb or kg) and height (in or cm); the BMI is worked out for you;
• head circumference;
• pain on a 0 to 10 scale;
• notes.

Recording vitals needs the patient's assigned provider or care team, or a practice administrator.

Following them over time

The Vitals tab shows the latest blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, weight, height, BMI, and pain, plus the respiratory rate and head circumference when they were measured; charts of blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and weight over time; and a table of past readings.

Pediatric and family practices also have a Growth tab that plots weight, height, and BMI by age. It does not show CDC or WHO percentiles.
