You can search within a patient chart to find data, such as a specific lab result or a file saved in the chart. You can also search the patient summary when you expand a section and use your web browser's search feature to search for key words; for example to find the occurrence of "colonoscopy" in the summary.
💡 Tip: To search for text on any window within the TELUS Collaborative Health Record (CHR), use the Google Chrome search function (Ctrl/Cmd F) to open your web browser's search functionality. This enables you to find key words without having to scroll through the entire window.
