Medical Tab - General

Medical Tab Incoming Referral Medical Services Overview

Written by Rhonda Wurgler

The Medical tab provides designated team members with the ability to add, edit, delete, and view the Medical Evaluation and follow-up information for a particular CAC case. Access to this tab can be limited to read-only, edit/full access or none at all.

This will depend on the role granted to your account in Trak and can be configured by your CAC’s Security Officer under Administration – Roles in Trak. When you only have ‘View’ privileges for this tab, there are no text boxes or pick list options enabled on the page and all else are read-only.

The Medical tab has the different sections divided into the “Incoming Referral”, Medical Services Overview”, “Session Log/Appointments”, “Medical Exam Records”, “Outside Referrals”, “Additional Points of Contact” and the “Document Upload”.

The Save and Cancel buttons for the tab are located just below your CAC’s logo at the top left section of the Medical tab. These buttons lock and are accessible as you go down to the bottom of the page so you do not need to scroll all the way up when you want to save changes when you are editing at the bottom section of the tab.
