This has calculators for basal metabolic rate, body mass index, and cardiac risk estimates. It can generate usable output for lifestyle change that a patient can use after the visit. There is a legend with more detail below. |
The two columns separated by a colon are JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. If you enter data here manually you should only change the items in the second column. An alternative (and more exciting) use of this JSON input box is to get the output directly from your Electronic Health Record (EHR). Most (all?) EHRs have a templating capability which will allow you to make output that you can paste into the box below. This speeds things up and imparts less transcription error risk. |
The output below is not sent anywhere or saved. You can copy it along with the JSON data from today so you've got a record of what you did and you can recreate it next time you see the patient. |
Submit the form both by either pressing enter or clicking the 'Try it' button. |
