👤 Clients

The Client – Vitals page is the landing page when accessing a client’s profile. From this page, you can view or edit the client’s vitals - the basic information about a client that is required when creating a Client record, add a comment about the Client’s file and access all information and activities linked to the client record.

When accessing activities linked directly to the client, two menus will always be available: Client Information and Client Management. The Client Information menu is where detailed information about the client can be entered whereas the Client Management menu allows direct access to the HIFIS modules where you can track the activities done with a client.
