To save time when searching through the medical records and lab results of patients that need frequent follow-up diagnostic testing, we attach this patient summary sheet to the top right-hand side of each patient's medical record folder. We use the sheet for everything from follow-up renal profiles to thyroid testing to ultrasonographic examinations.
