Report types

Each document drafted in its own structure, with the fields it is expected to carry.

A discharge summary is not a long clinical note, and a medical-aid motivation is not a letter. MedReport drafts each document as the thing it is, so it is accepted the first time by whoever receives it.

Specialty formats

If your operative note is wrong,the rest does not matter.

Breadth is not the argument. A surgeon reads a long list and assumes the one document they care about is shallow, which is usually a fair assumption. So specialty formats are built with the specialists who sign them, and reviewed by the clinical advisor before release.

How a format gets added

You send us three of your own signed examples with the patient detail removed. We build the structure, you review it against a live case, and it goes into your practice only once you have signed one you are happy with.

How long it takes

About two weeks from your examples to a format you are signing on live patients. Format work for a specialty your practice actually produces is part of onboarding.

One path

Every typefinishes the same way.

Picking a report type is the start of the work, not the end of it. Whichever document you choose, it goes through the same checks, the same signature and the same seal.

Drafted in structure

The sections and fields that document is expected to carry.

Checked

Medications, allergies and ICD-10 against the draft. Required fields enforced.

Signed

By the treating clinician, on their verified HPCSA identity.

Sealed and sent

Fingerprint, timestamp and checks reviewed. Filed to the patient record.

Bring the document you argue about most.

Whichever one comes back rejected, arrives late, or takes the longest to write. We will draft it live on the call.
