# Completing the Examination Tab

## Completing the Examination Tab

**What:** The consultation tab where you record vitals, run questionnaires, document body systems, and draw on body charts.

**Why:** Capturing examination findings alongside the symptoms and diagnosis keeps the whole encounter in one structured record instead of separate paper notes.

**When:** After the Symptoms tab, before moving on to Diagnose & prescribe.

## Steps

## 1\. Record vitals and examination findings

*Location: Consultation › Examination tab › General*

Click the **'Examination'** tab. On the **'General'** sub-tab, enter the patient's vitals: Temperature, Pulse rate, Blood pressure, Respiratory rate, SPO2, Weight, Height, Waist circumference, BMI, Peak flow, and Head circumference. Additional measurement categories (Cholesterol & heart function, Dipstick tests, Glucose & diabetes, and more) are available as expandable sections below.

-   Click **'Questionnaires'** to administer structured clinical screenings (e.g. PHQ-9, GAD-7).

-   Click **'Body systems'** to document system-by-system examination findings using tick-box templates.

-   **Body Charts (🖊️)**, click the **Stylus icon** in the sub-tab toolbar, then select **'Add Templates'** to open a body diagram. On touchscreens, draw directly on the diagram. On desktop, click the Textbox icon to insert typed annotations next to specific areas.
