How to store labs and visit documents

File formats, how not to lose lab results, and why attaching documents to a visit in an electronic medcard helps.

Keep the original

Whenever possible, keep the lab PDF — not only a screenshot. Reference ranges stay readable and pages are less likely to go missing.

Link files to a visit

Attach files to a specific visit: months later it is clear which encounter the result belonged to.

On Medcards, after upload you can use AI document review within your plan — as a structuring aid, not a diagnosis.

Before the next appointment

Filter recent results by date, note questions for the doctor, and share only the visit that is needed.
