A patient chart is the container for everything SkinMD knows about one person: visits, encounters, AI-assisted assessments, conditions, ICD-11 codes, and the share link. Charts are scoped to the clinician who created them — another clinician in the same clinic sees only the patients they have been granted access to.
Creating a patient
- 1Open the dashboard and click Patients in the side navigation.
- 2Click “New patient” in the top-right of the list.
- 3Enter the patient’s full legal name and date of birth. Optional fields can be filled later.
- 4Click Create. You land on the new chart with no visits yet.
Reading the tabs
| Tab | What lives here |
|---|---|
| Overview | Demographics, last visit, current conditions, share link button. |
| Visits | Every documented encounter for this patient, newest first. |
| Assessments | AI-assisted differential assessments produced for this patient. |
| Conditions | Diagnoses tracked over time, with ICD-11 codes attached. |
| Share | Issue and revoke share links for this patient. |
Tabs appear only when there is data for them. A new patient will show just Overview until you create a visit.
