The patient summary includes patient demographic information and tab views of clinical, secure messaging, and patient consent information. From the upper-right corner of the patient summary, authorized users can create new secure messages and orders or referrals. In addition, in the patient archive view, authorized users can add the patient to their dashboard watchlist. Information is provided in the patient summary according to user authorizations and patient consent.
