Under social history, there should be the ability to track MODELS: marital status,occupation, drugs, employment, level of education, sexual history

We would like to have template functionality for Past Medical History, to aid in data entry

Currently there is no way to share the patient's "past medical history" field with another provider. Neither the referral feature, nor the "clinical document" feature allow for inclusion of this field. Can this be rectified?

It would be nice if we had an option to add past medical history to the soap note every time a soap note is created. Same goes for allergies.

Surgical History:
58550 Laparoscopic assisted * hysterectomy (linked to)
218.9 Fibroid

We would like to track more things in Past Medical History in addition to what is already listed there as categories.

We need to include Surgery History as structured data.

For Meaningful Use, we need an easier way to document that a patient has "normal/no significant family history"

Please use the same diagnosis library from the SOAP note. There are many, many diagnoses that are not currently available in family history. In fact I've only been able to identify four psychiatric diagnoses that are available! As it currently stands, this section is shockingly unusable, especially for psychiatric practice.

When I want to go to Preventive Care and edit it, I dont want to have to go to PMH scroll down to it, then back up to hit the edit button. When you are in the encounter it is impossible to get to the Preventive care without exiting out of the encounter, so would like an easier way to access edit.

Currently all information in each section of the PMH is bunched together on a printed page. It would be nice if one could split up data with a separate paragraph and other formatting like you can do in the chart note.

It could save time to have the ablility to link family history information between additional family members in the practice rather than having to re-enter the information in each chart. It would, similarly, be a large time saver if demographic or insurance information could be linked between multiple family members.

We need to include OB/GYN History as structured data.

Please give us the option of documenting the year only for date for previous surgeries or onset of medical diagnosis.
Many times the patient cannot remember the month or day of surgery.

I would like to be able to see the summary or especially be able to edit the past medical history section while reviewing the patient intake information. Currently if you want to add something you see in the patient intake information it will be closed out when you try to edit the PMH

We would like to be able to remove sections of the Past Medical History that are not relevant for our practice.

Please add Aunt and Uncle (and other relatives) to Family History

PMH space is limited to 4000 characters. Many patients have extensive PMH that needs to be recorded. We need more space allowed to save data in PMH.

When printing the Family History, please print the comments listed under the family member, not just the diagnoses. Sometimes we have family members who died of natural causes with no diagnoses listed, but this does not show when printing the history.
