• Provide a means to render to multiple output formats for the same summary model

• Efficiently produce a patient summary for a single patient

  • Provide an interface for previewing any patient summary quickly for a specific patient

  • Configure that a patient summary for a single patient can automatically render in a new patient dashboard tab

  • Configure one or more patient summary documents in a list accessible from the patient dashboard

• Produce a batch of patient summaries for a Cohort of patients

  • Support doing this ad-hoc

  • Support doing this via a scheduled process for off-peak hours

  • Support producing a zip file containing one output document per patient

  • Support producing a separate output document per patient, saved to a particular location on disk
