To alert users to certain conditions on a patient’s record, toolbar colours can be set that display when the patient record is open, or pop-up notes can be displayed.
Patient Triggers provide the ability to define the conditions which will ‘trigger’ a system action to display an alert message. The feature uses the Patient Coloured Toolbars, the Pop Up Notes facility and query functions to pop up preset messages when certain query conditions are met. These conditions could be things such as the patient being a certain age, or not having had an appointment in the last two years.
When a patient record is displayed in EXACT, a query attached to a message is evaluated and if the query conditions apply then the message appears.
