🎞️ Video: Customizing the patient summary
You can configure the patient Summary of the patient chart to see exactly what you need to see and in the order that matters most for you. For each section in the summary, you can choose how many records to see (for example, see only the last 3 encounters). Any customizations you make are specific to your view, and won't affect other users' view.
📌 Note: Administrators can customize the clinic-wide settings and the default sections that appear in the summary from Settings > Patient > Summary Setting.

1. Open the patient chart.
2. At the top of the chart, click the Summary icon.
By default, the sections configured for your clinic appear.
3. To expand a section, click the section header.
4. To collapse or fold a section, click the section header again.
