The Reminders Drawer

When you begin a new progress note, you will see the reminders drawer. If you click the drawer, a tree view of due, applicable, and other reminders will be displayed. The Due category automatically expands when you open the Reminders drawer, while the Applicable and Other categories do not.

Note: Before you can process a reminder, a CAC or someone else must create a dialog in a similar position at your site. A dialog image over the clock or question mark icon shows that a reminder has an associated dialog.

After you process a reminder but before you reevaluate it, a check is placed over the reminder to show it has been processed. Once you reevaluate the reminder, it will be moved to the category for reminders that are applicable but not due.

Click a reminder to bring up the Reminders Processing dialog and process the reminder.

Right-click on a reminder to get the following options:

· Clinical Maintenance - shows the possible resolutions and the findings associated with the reminder.

· Education topic definition - may list the education topics that have been defined for a reminder. You can select a topic to view the desired education outcome and any standards.

· Reminder Inquiry - will show the reminder definition describing which patients are selected for this reminder.

· Reference Information - can list web sites with additional information.

· Evaluate Reminder - tells you if a reminder is due, applicable or other.

· Reminder Icon Legend - displays icon legend screen with icons and meanings.

Each of these options will bring up a window. When you are finished with the window, click Close.
