A point that may be worth making, is that HealthFrame links are bi-directional, in other words, when you link one portion of your record to another, the link shows up in both places. With that in mind, you should use links to facilitate your style of navigation through your record.
Here are some useful ways that users have followed to organize their data with links:
* Correlate information pertaining to a particular condition
In this case, you should create the condition and from then on, link that condition to any visit that relates to the treatment of the condition, tests, medications, file attachments, URLs of web sites with useful information, journals, etc.
Note that you don't have to navigate to the condition in order to create the link - that's the benefit of links being bi-directional. In other words, (i) create the condition; (ii) create a test entry that relates to that condition; (iii) link the test entry to the condition - from the test entry itself; (iv) go to the condition and check that the test result shows up as information that is related to the condition!
* Correlate information pertaining to specific health goals
Imagine you have set goals for yourself such as losing weight, lowering your cholesterol or stopping smoking. You can create a Journal to (1) track your goal(s); (2) track your progress (journal entries). You can then link the journal entries with whatever information is useful, for instance your weight measurement or blood test, vitamins/medications, medical consults, etc.
Think first about how you want to use your data, and then use links to help you navigate information in a way that meet to your needs.
We hope you find this information helpful.
