The defining challenge in functional medicine is lab complexity. Practices run a wide range of specialised panels — microbiome, hormone, food-sensitivity and more — mostly outside insurance, and the clinical value comes from tracking trends across many biomarker types that never fit a normal flowsheet. It's a data problem as much as a clinical one: keeping orders, protocols and results legible when they don't naturally sit in one place.
Ona pulls that work onto a single chart. Lab orders and supplement protocols are placed through an embedded Fullscript dispensary with results and order status syncing back, the ambient scribe frames the interpretation in the note, and patient-reported symptom data sits alongside — so the trends you reason from live next to the patient, not across five logins.
