In the Health Profile, also known as cumulative patient profile (CPP), you can record, track, and maintain structured health data in a standard and consistent way across the continuum of care for a patient.
📌 Note: If you do not have Health Profile enabled in your domain, contact the support team.
The health profile includes the following seven sections and you can add, save, and edit patient clinical information in each of them:
Goals of care (refer to Adding goals of care)
Medical history (refer to Recording patient medical history)
Surgical history (refer to Recording patient surgical history)
Family history (refer to Recording patient family history)
Social history (refer to Recording patient social history)
Risk factors (refer to Viewing patient risk factors)
Obstetrical care (refer to Recording prenatal information and Recording a pregnancy result)
You access the health profile in the following ways:
In the patient dashboard view, click Start/Open > Health Profile.
In the patient summary, you can view the individual health profile sections.
From an encounter or letter template (see Adding health profile items to an encounter or letter template).
⚠️ Important:
You can add medical history and surgical history to letter and encounter templates. They can be configured to include the 15 most recent active entries.
Social history, family history, risk factors, goals of care, and obstetrical care can also be pulled into letters and encounter templates.
You can click into the Health Profile variables in an encounter template to edit them. These edits update the Health Profile in the patient chart upon saving the encounter.
📌 Note: You cannot edit Health Profile variables when using letter templates.
Diagnosis in the Assessment and Plan section of an encounter does not save into the Medical History section of the patient's chart until the encounter has been signed. See Recording an encounter diagnosis.
