Outstanding Actions
An Outstanding Action is a practitioner's reminder notice about a specific patient, that appears on screen when opening the patient record.
Clinical can be configured to display a pop-up list of outstanding actions for a specific patient. Alternatively, you can view a list of all outstanding actions for all patients, and then filter that list by practitioner or by type of action.
Outstanding actions remind the practitioner to perform one or more clinical actions for the patient. They can also be used to record any reminder notice about the patient.
Outstanding actions can also be added via the Holding File, for example, as a reminder to discuss test results with the patient.
Outstanding actions are different from:
- Recall actions, which are notes recorded against a patient's recall notification.
- SMS reminders, which are used to contact patients about their due recalls.
