Adding Recalls via the Patient Search Module
Generate recalls for a group of patients.
Before you begin
To manage the recalls for an individual patient, see Adding Recalls via the Patient's Record.
To find patients with due recalls so you can complete the recalls and if required generate a new set of recalls for the same set of patients, see Adding Recalls via the Search Recalls Module.
This method assumes you have an understanding of how the Patient Search module works.
Procedure
- From the Clinical front screen, select .
- In the Patient Search module, conduct a search for the patients for whom you want to generate a recall.
- At the bottom of the search results, click Add Recall.
-
In the Add Recall: Multiple Patients Selected window, specify
the criteria for the Recall you wish to create.
- Indicate the Practitioner/User the Recall is being created on behalf of. The practitioner/user currently logged in is selected by default. For non-clinical users, this item is initially left blank.
- Indicate the reason for the Recall. You can select a reason from the list
provided, or you can add a new
reason to the list. Tick Restrict by Age and Sex at
Birth to show only reasons suitable for the age and/or sex at
birth of the selected patient (only available if you have selected a single
patient record). If you select a reason from the list, its schedule settings
are loaded for you automatically. You can modify these if you wish, and such
modifications will not affect the reason definition, nor will they affect any
Recalls already saved.
You can quickly jump to an entry in the list by typing the first few letters of it into the text box provided. Then, press TAB+ENTER to select the item. Alternatively you can press TAB to move to the list and then use your arrow keys to scroll through the list.
- If there are no suitable Recall reasons in the list, you can create one from here.
- Indicate whether this is a once-only Recall, or a recurring Recall. For recurring Recalls, you must also indicate the interval between Recall visits.
- Indicate the Recall date:
- For once-off Recalls, this is the date on which you wish the patient to return to the practice.
- For recurring recalls, this is the date on which you wish the first return visit to occur.
- Click Save to add the Recall to the record of each selected patient.
