Creating a Reminder Dialog

Templates can be linked to Reminder dialogs that are listed in the TIU Reminder Dialogs parameter. This enables you to use templates to place orders, enter PCE information, and enter vital signs and mental health data. If there are no Reminder Dialogs in the TIU Reminders Dialog parameter, the Reminder Dialog template type will not be available.

To create a Reminder Dialog, follow these steps:

1. Select Options | Create New Template... on the Notes, Consults, or D/C Summ tab.

The Template Editor will appear.

2. Type in a name for the new template in the Name field under Personal Template Properties.

Note: Template names must begin with a letter or a number, be between 3 and 30 characters in length (including spaces), and cannot be named "New Template."

3. Select the drop-down button in the Template Type field and select Reminder Dialog.

4. Select the drop-down button in the Dialog field and select the Reminder Dialog desired.

5. Place the template in the tree view in the desired location. (To do this, click the plus sign next to an item to view its subordinate objects and then drag-and-drop the template to its desired location. You can also move the template by using the arrows below the personal templates tree view.)

6. Select Apply to save the template.

7. Select OK to exit the editor.

Note: You do not have to click Apply after each template, but it is recommended because if you click Cancel, you will lose all changes you have made since the last time you clicked Apply or OK.
