# Condition Tracker

The condition tracker has been added to Healthbridge Clinical to allow a practitioner to keep track of the high-risk patients, this allows these high-risk patients to be added to a list for further monitoring and closer inspection.

## Condition Tracker

**What:** A practice-wide register of patients grouped by diagnosis code, with risk level, test results, and notes, separate from any single patient's file.

**Why:** Gives you a working list of every patient with a given condition (e.g. a chronic disease or an outbreak like COVID-19) in one place, so you can follow up and message them as a group.

**When:** When managing a cohort of patients with a shared diagnosis, chronic conditions, screening programmes, or public health tracking.

## 1\. Open the Condition Tracker

*Location: Home dashboard › Condition tracker tab*

From the home dashboard, click the **'Condition tracker'** tab, it sits alongside 'My schedule', 'Visit history', and 'Pathology centre', not inside any individual patient's file. By default it's filtered to **Diagnosis Codes U07.1 and U07.2** (COVID-19).

To track a different condition, remove those codes and start typing in **'Enter Diagnosis…'**, optionally narrow by age range or gender, then click **'Apply'**.

## 2\. Add a patient

*Location: Condition tracker › Add patient*

Click **'Add patient'** and search by name in the dialog that appears. Select the matching result to move on to their tracking details.

> **Note:** Adding a patient here, via 'Add patient', is the reliable method, there's no condition-tracker icon in the consultation's 'Plan' tab.

## 3\. Capture their tracking details

*Location: Add patient › detail dialog*

The detail dialog adapts to the tracked condition, for the default COVID-19 view it shows **Risk** (High/Medium/Low), test type (Rapid Antigen or RT-PCR), **Test Status**, **Test date**, **Result**, and a **Notes** field. Fill in what's required and click **'Add patient'** to save them to the tracker.

## Frequently asked questions

**Q: What can I do with a patient once they're on the tracker?**

Each row in the tracker's table has action icons to send an **SMS** update, **edit** their risk level and results, or **delete** them from the tracker entirely.

**Q: Can I track more than one condition at a time?**

Yes, add multiple diagnosis codes to the 'Diagnosis Codes' field before clicking 'Apply' to see patients matching any of them in one combined list.

**Q: Does adding a patient here affect their patient file?**

The tracker is a separate, practice-level register for follow-up and reporting, it doesn't add anything to the patient's own clinical notes or timeline.
