Clinical notes that stay attached to the patient, not scattered across systems

Clinical notes spread across paper files, a separate system, and personal recollection are hard to trust as a complete history. Recording notes directly against the patient, timestamped and attributed to whoever wrote them, keeps every entry together with everything else about that patient relationship.

That means appointment history, documents, and correspondence all sit in the same place as the clinical notes themselves, rather than each living in its own separate system a practitioner has to check individually.

This is deliberately record-keeping, not a clinical decision-support system - it never makes a clinical recommendation, keeping prescribing and diagnosis entirely a matter of professional judgement.
