You are talking about the Patient Evaluation / Encounter, right ?

The main info section summarizes the patient encounter flow and shows
most relevant information and procedures :

* Chief Complaint
* History of Present Illness (HPI)
* Clinical / Physical exam summary (check also the clinical tab)
* Main Condition (Presumptive Dx)
* Other conditions ( See ICD10 coding guidelines if you use this
  standard)
* Differential Diagnoses (DDx)
* Procedures (ie, Systemic arterial pressure monitoring)
* Treatment plan

You might want to also look at SOAP, but I'm positive the Heath
professionals are familiar with this concept. It might also help to
see a working example on the community database.

Depending on the type of evaluation, different fields might take more
relevance.

It reflects the procedures done, both in Outpatient and Inpatient
settings. Although is not required, it's good practice to record them.
Take the example of "Systemic arterial pressure monitoring" (ICD9
89.61).

But of course, each institution, can customize, and is not a required
field.

All the best
