Cline executes end-to-end patient record lookups
Tell Cline to find a patient, and it uses `search_patients` to retrieve the correct ID. It immediately follows up with `get_patient` to stage the demographics for your component. This setup removes the need for manual data entry. Cline writes the code to display this information while ensuring the data types match your interface requirements.
Direct medication and allergy management
Cline queries `list_medications` and `list_allergies` to populate your medical dashboard. It writes the data-fetching logic and handles the mapping of these FHIR resources. You can verify the output by checking the raw JSON returned by the tools. Cline ensures that every medication request is captured with its current status and dosage.
Automated diagnostic report processing
When you need to integrate lab results, Cline invokes `list_diagnostic_reports`. It parses the report type and conclusion to structure your UI components correctly. It also fetches supporting data using `list_observations`. By combining these tools, Cline creates a complete view of the patient's diagnostic history without manual chart review.
