Designating Medical Alerts

Oral Surgery practices can designate an allergy or a medication as a Medical Alert, and any use of those labels generates a Medical Alert for the patient to whom it is applied.

To designate an item as a Medical Alert:

Select Administration > Clinical > Allergies or Medications. The corresponding list is displayed.
Select the item you want to flag, and then click the Pencil icon. A Medical Alert option is displayed next to the name of the allergy or medication.

Note: You can also select the Medical Alert option when adding a new allergy or medication.

Select the option and then click the green check to save it. The item is designated as a Medical Alert and is displayed when it is used for the patient.

To create Medical Alerts:

Select Administration > Clinical > Medical Alerts. The Medical Alerts list is displayed.
Under Actions, click Add New Medical Alert. A new line is added to the list.
Enter a name for the medical alert.
Click the Checkmark icon to save the alert in the list. The alert can now be added to a patient's record.
