Family History

Available for: forms, visit note templates, care plan templates, document templates, and quizzes

The Family History question type captures structured family medical history by linking relatives to specific diagnoses, with optional dates and comments. A single question can hold many relatives, and each relative can carry many diagnoses, making it suited for thorough intake where multiple conditions span multiple family members.

Structure

The question is organized into three columns:

  • Relationship: A dropdown for selecting the relative, with options including Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Maternal Grandmother, Maternal Grandfather, Paternal Grandmother, and Paternal Grandfather.
  • Diagnoses: A searchable dropdown of ICD-coded diagnoses. Each selected diagnosis can carry its own date.
  • Comments: A free-text field for additional context tied to each relative.

How it works

  • Select a relationship from the dropdown.
  • To assign a condition, search and select an ICD-coded diagnosis (for example, A00.0: Cholera due to Vibrio cholerae 01, biovar cholerae) and set an optional date for it.
  • Use + Add Diagnosis to attach more than one diagnosis to the same relative, and remove any individual diagnosis with the red X.
  • Enter any notes for that relative in the Comments field.
  • To log another relative, use + Add Family History; to remove an entire relative row, use the red trash icon.

Note that dates are tied to each diagnosis rather than to the relative, which allows precise onset or recording tracking when a single relative has several conditions logged on different dates.

Configuration options (builder)

  • Scribe Instructions: Add custom guidance for the AI Scribe when it populates this field.
  • Logic and Conditions: Conditionally show the question only when defined criteria are met (supports + Or logic for multiple conditions).
  • Add to Patient Chart: Pushes the captured data into the patient chart.
  • Show on Summary Card: Surfaces it on the patient summary card.
  • Required: Makes the question mandatory before the note can be finalized.
