Open a patient with Agent D

Agent D provides natural-language shortcuts and slash commands to search, pin, and open patient medical records rapidly.

What it does

Clinicians can use Agent D chat box from any screen to locate and open patient charts without touching the mouse: - /p (or /patient): Searches the practice register by name and date of birth, pinning the patient to the assistant active context. - /open: Immediately opens the complete electronic chart and medical record of the currently pinned patient in the primary workspace.

When a patient is pinned, Agent D displays a concise case summary card citing demographics, current medications, active conditions, and recent consultation milestones.

When to use it

Use Agent D commands when working hands-on-keyboard during phone consultations, when switching rapidly between sequential patients, or when asking clinical questions about a specific patient file.

  2. Type /open and press Enter to launch the pinned patient full electronic medical record. Agent D slash command /open to open pinned chart

Also on this screen

  • Slash command (/p or /patient): Rapid keyboard command that resolves patient identity and binds the chart to the assistant session.
  • Slash command (/open): Direct navigation shortcut that opens the full patient workspace.

What Agent D can do

  • Agent D searches and pins patients to the conversation context using /p.
  • Agent D opens the clinical chart in the main console using /open.
  • Agent D brings together active problems, medications, and allergies when answering clinical inquiries about the pinned patient.

Safety (what needs your Confirm)

  • Pinning and opening patient records are read-only navigation commands that do not alter medical records.
  • Any clinical orders, prescriptions, or letters requested through Agent D chat require review and explicit confirmation on a Confirm card.

Common questions

What happens if multiple patients have the same name?

Agent D displays matching candidates with their date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY) and residential suburb so you can select the correct individual.

Can I ask Agent D questions about a patient without opening their full chart?

Yes. Once a patient is pinned with /p, you can ask questions (such as "What were their last blood test results?") and Agent D answers directly in chat.

Does typing /open close my active consultation?

If you have unsaved progress notes on another patient, Diagnify will prompt you to save or park the encounter before switching charts.
