To determine how many diabetes-related visits Susan has had, what should Dr. Ness do in Chart Review?

To determine how many diabetes-related visits Susan has had, the most effective approach is to go to the Encounters tab and filter on diagnosis. This tab is specifically designed to capture all patient encounters related to specific diagnoses, including diabetes. By applying a filter for the diabetes diagnosis, Dr. Ness can quickly and accurately access a list of all encounters where diabetes was a relevant factor. This method not only provides a comprehensive view of all related visits but also streamlines the process of gathering pertinent information for effective patient care.

Using the Notes tab for a text search could potentially yield some relevant information; however, it may not be as comprehensive or as straightforward as using the Encounters tab. Searching through notes may also require more time and effort to sift through potentially unrelated documentation. Checking the Labs tab for diabetes-related results can provide valuable insights into the lab work associated with Susan's diabetes management but would not directly list the number of visits related to her condition. Reviewing the patient’s family history may offer context about diabetes prevalence in her family but does not provide information about her specific encounters with healthcare providers.
