Medical summary
Telegenisys supports more than 100 summary formats to support the ten main use cases our clients currently require with more formats added all the time to keep up with new client needs.

We share details about our formats and their applications to real world situations. We often incorporate the results of our discussions into our medical information displays. We love feedback that improves this effort and welcome it, so please feel free to provide your critique, comments and suggestions. Thank you for your interest.
