The Alaska Medical Summary (AMS) is an important document used by healthcare providers in the state of Alaska. It is a summary of a patient's medical history, current condition, and health care needs. The AMS also includes results from any medical tests, procedures, or treatments. The AMS can be used to inform treatment decisions, establish a baseline for ongoing care, or as part of a patient's health record. There are two types of Alaska Medical Summaries: the Comprehensive Medical Summary (CMS) and the Limited Medical Summary (LMS). The CMS provides a comprehensive overview of a patient's medical history, including all diagnoses, treatments, and medications. The LMS is a shorter, more focused version of the CMS, providing a summary of recent medical history and current medications.
