It is useful to see a graphical picture of your medical history on a single page,showing the time relationship of your treatments and procedures on your PSA and other test results. The trend of your PSA is known to be particularly significant. These charts can be helpful to your physician when reviewing your case. We encourage you to take your one page medical history graph to your next office visit.
Medical History Graphs can be simple or complicated.Click on the thumbnails to see sample graphs.

PC-REF offers two different graphing services,Medical Smart Chart(MSC)(automated) and MultiGraph(manual).
With MedicalSmartChart,you enter your data using drop menus online and you see your graph instantly. With the MultiGraph service, you can either enter your data online for your first graph or send it in by email. You will receive your graphs by email in the next day or two,along with a data file that you update as you get more information.
With both systems, you have control over your personal medical information. With Medical Smart Chart,you can give permission to your physician to log in with your password and access your chart in his office or in the Emergency Room. With MultiGraph,you can specify to whom your results are emailed.
With Medical Smart Chart your graph is displayed instantly, and your data is always available online for updating. With Multigraph, your results are emailed. To get updates, you need to edit and email a revised data file, or "Prostate Cancer Digest". However, you get the option to specify up to ten different graphs, each showing different selections of your data, and you have control over the formatting of each MultiGraph chart. Your graphs are automatically scaled to fit your data, or you can specify the scaling desired.
