Patients can update their Past Medical, Family, and Social History (PFSH) directly from within their patient portal, making it easier to keep their health record accurate and up to date.

Why is this important? 

• Helps providers access the most up-to-date and complete information
• Supports safer, more personalized care and clinical decision-making
• Assists in identifying risk factors from history
• Decreases errors or outdated information during visits
• Saves time during appointments by reducing the need for manual intake updates

Access PFSH

Tap More in the bottom navigation bar.

Tap History.

You can review and manage the following, organized into three tabs:

• Past history (this tab is open by default)
• Family history
• Social history (smoking status)
