Medical Alerts

This section should be used to alert staff to a person’s allergies, illnesses, prescription drug requirements, special dietary requirements, etc.

From the MENU: Person, Medical Alerts

From the PERSON DETAIL screen:

There is a link to the List Medical Treatments screen.

To add a new medical alert:

• Medical code: Select the appropriate medical code. There can only be one for each type of code per person.
• Notes: Type the Notes.

Click on the UPDATE button or press ALT+U to save your changes.

To edit a medical alert:

Click on the existing medical alert you wish to edit, makes any changes.

Click on the UPDATE button or press ALT+U to save your changes.

Since there can only be one per person for each code, it may be a good idea to put dates in your notes. If a person is taking a certain prescription, then discontinues, rather than deleting the old prescription, you could just make a note with a date.
