Clinical Drawing Tool: Quick Guide

Clinical Drawings in MediRecords allow providers to visually document patient findings by drawing directly onto anatomy images or uploaded photos. This is particularly useful for highlighting areas of concern, tracking changes over time, or providing clear illustrations that support clinical notes. Tablet users can also capture photos of patients in real time and annotate them immediately, making this feature practical in a wide range of care settings.

The Clinical Drawings tool helps standardise records and improve communication across your practice. Drawings can be categorised, marked confidential, shared with your team, or printed for external correspondence. The resource library is flexible and customisable, allowing you to store templates that suit your clinical needs.
