Improved follow-up of the healthcare visit
Improved tracking of healthcare visits with the updated ‘Medical Care Visits’ module in Sabentis. Among other advantages, you can view processed lab results for the examination or upload external files related to the visit.
At Sabentis, occupational health visits are consultations or meetings between an employee and a healthcare professional for the purpose of providing medical care and assistance within the context of workplace health and well-being. They are essential for the early diagnosis and appropriate management of occupational illnesses and health conditions.
During these consultations, the healthcare professional assesses the worker, makes a diagnosis if necessary, and offers treatment, follow-up, and guidance on health care. These consultations are also important for health promotion and disease prevention, as they allow healthcare professionals to identify risk factors and provide recommendations and advice for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This health monitoring is a cornerstone of a good occupational risk prevention service.
Maintaining good medical oversight of employees within an organization is key to promoting their overall well-being, and this is an action facilitated by the new Sabentis update. Monitoring medical visits within the framework of occupational risk prevention is an important process for ensuring continuity of healthcare and the well-being of workers.
After each consultation, it is essential to conduct proper follow-up to ensure that the recommendations and measures adopted are being implemented correctly and to evaluate the effectiveness of the prescribed actions. Centralizing this follow-up is easier with comprehensive prevention software.

How does the ‘medical care visits’ module of Sabentis work?
Usability and user experience are crucial in all Sabentis developments, and these principles have, of course, been applied to this new update as well. What can we expect from this module?
General information
This is completed with general information, such as the company, employee, type of visit, etc. Once this information is saved, the medical data will be displayed.
Contingencies and incapacities
The related work accident and the resulting incapacity periods and/or extensions are displayed.
Eye tests
They are attached in different sections such as:
- Background: refers to the collection and review of a specific worker’s medical and health history as part of a workplace health monitoring and evaluation program.
- Physical examination: evaluation of the worker’s general condition, including physical appearance, skin condition, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, neurological systems, among others.
- Additional tests to the report such as: tuning-fork hearing tests, biometry, vision tests, etc.
- Evaluation questionnaires.
Laboratory tests
The processed analyses for the medical examination are displayed.
- New samples can be added manually.
- A new laboratory test request can be submitted using HL7 coding, a set of coding and messaging standards used in healthcare to facilitate information exchange between the computer systems of different healthcare providers. Its aim is to standardize and improve care coordination, information accuracy, and the efficiency of medical service delivery. With HL7, healthcare providers can integrate their information systems and share data securely and reliably. This is essential in today’s digital healthcare environment.
Conclusions
They allow the information generated for the worker during the visit, the examination performed, and the diagnosis to be supplemented.
