To create a complete patient database, we need to gather different kinds of information. First, we need personal details like the patient's name and contact information to keep in touch with them. It's also important to know their medical history, which means finding out about any past illnesses, surgeries, or long-term conditions they have had.
We also need to record vital signs, which are measurements like heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and breathing rate. These give us important information about the patient's current health. Diagnostic test results, such as blood tests or scans, help us understand their condition better.
We should also keep track of the treatments and medicines the patient has received. This includes noting down what medications they are taking, the dosages, and any changes that have been made over time. It's also important to record appointments and visits, including the date, time, and reason for each one.
