​
Example Diagnosis Flow

Patient: Sarah Johnson (34F)Chief Complaints Entered: “Fever (101°F), severe headache, body aches, fatigue for 3 days”AI Analysis:Analyzing with patient history… Cross-referencing symptoms with Sarah’s medical recordsAI Diagnosis Suggestions:
  1. Viral Fever (URI) - 87% confidence
    • Symptoms align with recent prescription history (Paracetamol, Dec 15)
    • Seasonal pattern noted in patient’s history
    • Previous URI episodes with similar presentation
  2. Influenza Type B - 68% confidence
    • High fever with body aches typical of influenza
    • No recent flu vaccination in records
    • Consider PCR test for confirmation
AI diagnosis suggestions are assistive tools, not replacements for clinical judgment. Always consider the complete clinical picture and use your medical expertise for final diagnosis.

​
Cross-Provider History

One of the most powerful features of ABHA integration:

See All Providers

View prescriptions and records from every doctor the patient has visited

Complete Picture

Get the full medical story, not just what happened in your clinic

Continuity of Care

Make better decisions with complete historical context

No Duplication

Avoid redundant tests and conflicting treatments
This is only possible because of ABHA integration. Traditional EMRs only show records created within that system.

​
Patient-Uploaded Records

Patients can upload their historical medical documents:

​
What Patients Can Upload

  • Scanned paper prescriptions from before ABHA era
  • Lab test reports (blood work, urine tests, etc.)
  • Hospital discharge summaries
  • Specialist consultation notes
  • Vaccination certificates
  • Medical imaging CDs (X-ray, CT, MRI)
  • Health checkup reports
Uploaded documents are OCR-processed where possible to extract structured data, making them searchable via the Patient Health Assistant.

​
Document Verification

Patient-uploaded documents are marked with:
  • Upload date
  • Document source (patient-uploaded vs. provider-submitted)
  • Verification status (if verified by a healthcare provider)
Quickly find specific information:
  • All records
  • Prescriptions only
  • Lab reports only
  • Imaging reports only
  • Uploaded documents only

​
Critical Alerts

The system automatically highlights important information:
Critical Alerts:
  • Drug allergies (always shown prominently)
  • Recent hospitalizations
  • Abnormal lab values outside reference range
  • Drug-drug interaction warnings when prescribing
Patients control their ABHA data sharing. They must grant explicit consent for you to access their medical history. This consent can be granted per-visit or ongoing.
  • Active Consent: You can view full history
  • Limited Consent: You can only view specific records
  • No Consent: You can only see records you created
  • Consent Expired: Need to request renewal

​
Best Practices

1

Review before consultation

Quickly scan patient summary and recent timeline entries before the patient enters
2

Check allergies first

Always verify drug allergies before prescribing
3

Use AI assistant

Ask quick questions via chatbot during consultation for instant context
4

Look for patterns

Check for recurring symptoms or conditions across timeline
5

Verify compliance

Keep the patient timeline open on a second screen during consultations for seamless reference without interrupting patient interaction.
