Depende del país y de la actividad, pero si hablas de medicina es tener el expediente es como un sinónomo de la frase, y así hay muchoejemplos pero en una plática puedes decir "contexto" ejemplo: necesito tener el contexto de este problema. También podrías decir: necesito tener toda la información antes de recetarte cualquier medicamento/el panorama completo

I think the most accurate equivalent to that phrase is: tener el panorama completo

to have the whole picture
saber/conocer/entender su historia clínica/historial médico


Explanation:
It´s probably too specific but this is my try.

I don´t have the whole context but I am assuming the doctor is referring to having to know everything about the patient´s past and current health circumstances in order to feel confident to prescribe a specific medication?
