Purpose and Benefits

The Trends Tab allows the user to view Observations for a patient across visits. The observations displayed in this tab can be configured.

The Trends tab is "just-another-tab" on the Patient Dashboard, with name as Trends. One can name it anything, and use chart related display controls to create this dashboard.
