The activity
The Central Clinic has developed a notification process in the electronic health record system.
Its purpose is to inform providers when a patient may be due for certain preventive care
procedures and tests. These preventive care reminders are displayed in the patient's EHR on the
Alerts tab and on the patient info bar with a clock symbol. When a clinical reminder is due, the
clock turns red and is accompanied by a number which signifies the number of due reminders.
Central Clinic’s standard preventive care clinical reminder recommendations were developed
based on current research and national guidelines for the general population. Each standard
preventive care clinical reminder is for patients who are at average risk for a particular
condition. Patients who are at high risk will need a custom clinical reminder. For example,
Central Clinic’s recommendation for women at an average risk of breast cancer is to begin yearly
mammograms at age 40. Breast cancer survivors or women at a high risk for breast cancer due
to family history or other factors should work with their physician to create an individualized
screening plan.
At each patient visit, the healthcare team should review preventative care clinical reminders and
discuss any questions or concerns the patient may have. Preventive care clinical reminders
should be resolved if the patient received the care elsewhere. The healthcare team should also
document any procedures that have been completed at a non-Central Clinic facility, so the
record can stay up to date. Certain preventive care procedures, such as a mammogram or
colonoscopy, require a record of the procedure to update the Central Clinic EHR.
Launch the patient’s EHR included with this activity under 2: Launch EHR. Go to the Alerts tab
and review the clinical reminders. Answer the questions below.
