The data structures we are using allow for easy addition and scheduling of exams, labs and CBCs (and anything else we want) on a recurring basis. In the say way you specify the days on which a drug is delivered for a regimen, you would be able to specify the days on which a patient returns for an exam.
So, if you are particularly nervous about a new regimen, you can schedule labs or exams more often so that they are always a part of that regimen.
With the visits ‘baked in’ to the regimens, we eliminate even more clicks for both the MDs and schedulers. If the dates of the exam are already specified, all that is left is to set a time. And we have a solution to make that easier, as well.
