Patient Complaints are one of the most important items to complete in order to properly access a patient and track their ongoing progress.
Practitioners will often track:
- Patient Name
- Title of Complaint
- Onset Date
- Onset Location
- Details
- Priority - Low, Medium, High, Urgent
- Status - Active, Inactive, Discharged
Create a patient complaint either from the patient's profile or create a complaint right from a chart.

Step 1
Open a Patients profile, and click on the Chart tab.
Step 2
On the right side, click on the [+Add] button located in the Chart.
How to Add a New Complaint While in a Chart
