Description
Screenings help healthcare providers easily create, manage, and set reminders for upcoming prevention screenings for their patients. This handy feature includes using a standardized list of screening types, recording their status, tracking results, setting up future reminders, and reviewing historical data through the timeline.
Some common tasks you will perform with this feature include:
- Create new Screening records from the index or chart notes.
- Screening type is to be selected from a pre-defined list, with the ability to create an “Other” with free-text to enter a Screening.
- Update Screening records during follow-up visits to highlight the continuity of care.
- View Screening status, due dates, and associated test results.
- Archive outdated or irrelevant Screenings.
- Task reminders are generated for when Screenings are due within 2 weeks.
- Access the timeline for the audit of historical actions and comments on Screening records.
Screenings are a key part of preventive care and can be easily created and reviewed in a few ways:

A. Chart Notes: These can be created and edited during patient visits.
B. Screening Index: This offers a consolidated view of all patient Screenings, allowing you to create and edit Screening details and results.
C. Patient Sidebar: Provides quick access to recent Screenings during patient interactions.
