When to use it

Use it for a patient guide on a clinic website, wayfinding signs, or training for volunteers and new staff. Patients most often get lost after tests, so the chart shows results going back to the clinician.

Make it yours

  • If results are delivered through a patient portal, reword the results node.
  • For signage, switch to flowchart LR and increase the font size.
  • Clinics with a different flow, such as urgent care, need their own chart.

Draw an outpatient clinic visit flowchart with Mermaid flowchart TD syntax. Book an appointment, check in, triage and wait, see the clinician. If tests are needed, go to lab or imaging, have the tests, and the results go to the clinician. Then diagnosis and plan, with three next steps: a prescription picked up at the pharmacy, hospital admission, or a scheduled follow-up visit. Prescription and follow-up end at check out. Use diamonds for decisions and no parentheses in node text. Output only the mermaid code block.
