Create a Cosmetic Procedure
DigiMEDSPA EMR Portal allows you to create two types of procedures: Cosmetic and Health. Creating accurate procedures ensures that patient records are properly documented and managed according to the specific needs of the treatment. This user guide provides detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to efficiently create a cosmetic procedure.
Understanding Terminologies
Cosmetic Procedures
They are typically focused on esthetic treatments, such as injectables (e.g., Botox, fillers) or skin rejuvenation therapies. These procedures often require photo documentation to track progress and results, as well as injection markings to ensure precise application. Accurate records for cosmetic treatments are essential for maintaining patient satisfaction, ensuring safety, and adhering to regulatory standards.
Health Procedures
These procedures, on the other hand, focus on medical or wellness-related treatments that do not require photo documentation or injection markings. These may include services such as health assessments, wellness treatments, or other non-aesthetic medical procedures.
