Suggested Workflow

How to integrate PancreaTrack into your clinic routine without adding significant time burden.

The 5-Minute Pre-Appointment Review

The most effective way to use PancreaTrack is a brief review before each visit — not a deep dive during the appointment. Here's a practical flow:

Open the patient's Overview tab (1 min)

Read the AI clinical brief. Note any highlighted alerts — steatorrhea flag, severe pain days, or abnormal labs. This gives you a narrative orientation before looking at charts.

Check the Pain tab (1 min)

Set the range to 30d. Is the trend improving, worsening, or stable? Note the number of severe days and whether they cluster around any dates.

Scan Nutrition and Bowel (1 min)

Are high-fat days followed by pain or loose stool? Any steatorrhea indicators? This correlation is the most actionable data for PERT adjustment conversations.

Review Lab Values (1 min)

Check for any unreviewed flags (badge count on the Labs tab). Click Review on abnormals you've acknowledged.

Add a post-visit note (1 min)

After the appointment, add a brief note in the Notes tab: dose changes made, tests ordered, next steps. This creates a lightweight longitudinal record visible to you at the next visit.

During the Appointment

If you have a display in the exam room, pulling up the patient's PancreaTrack page can be a useful visual anchor for discussing trends. Patients often respond well to seeing their own data — it reinforces the value of consistent logging.

💡

Let the patient narrate first

Ask the patient to describe their past month before showing them the charts. Then compare their recall to the logged data. Discrepancies (either direction) are themselves clinically useful.

Encouraging Consistent Patient Logging

The quality of your clinical view depends entirely on the patient's logging consistency. A few approaches that work:

Mention PancreaTrack at the end of each appointment: "Log your meals and pain scores this month — I'll review them before your next visit."
Acknowledge the data during the appointment. Patients log more when they know it gets looked at.
Frame logging as a shared tool: "This gives us data we couldn't otherwise collect between visits."
