A knowledge resource, not a record of you
This is what clinicians across 7 organizations have learned from real care, written so you can read it. Reading needs no account, nothing you read is logged, and you cannot look yourself up here, nor can anyone else. To control who can read your own EHR records, use Access and consent.

How to use this well
Nothing here is advice about you, because nothing here knows anything about you. It is what tended to happen to groups of people with a similar picture. That makes it very good for working out what to ask your care team, and a poor substitute for asking them.

What clinicians agree on most strongly
Statin intensity selection immediately after drug-eluting stent placement
After a stent, you will be started on a cholesterol medicine. Some of them react with common antibiotics, so tell any doctor prescribing you an antibiotic which one you are on.
Based on 276 anonymised cases across 5 organizations. Reviewed and agreed by clinicians (90/100).
Detecting new atrial fibrillation at a routine chronic disease review
An irregular heartbeat is often picked up at an appointment about something else. If you have noticed your heart racing or fluttering, mention it even when it is not why you came.
Based on 367 anonymised cases across 5 organizations. Reviewed and agreed by clinicians (90/100).
The annual wellness visit as a deprescribing checkpoint
Once a year, bring every medicine you take - including ones from other clinics and anything bought over the counter - to one appointment. It is the most reliable way to find things you no longer need.
Based on 402 anonymised cases across 5 organizations. Reviewed and agreed by clinicians (89/100).
Where this comes from
Clinicians at participating organizations process their own notes on their own systems. Names, record numbers, dates of birth, addresses and contact details are removed before anything is shared. What is left describes a group, not a person: an age band, a set of conditions, what was done, and what followed.
Other clinicians then read it and say whether they agree. You can see that disagreement - it is not hidden, and an insight that clinicians argue about is labelled as contested rather than quietly removed.
