Screenings: An Overview

Learn all about Aeon's prevention screening management

 

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 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 that’s not included in the list.
  • 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  • Archive outdated or irrelevant screenings.
  • Checks for medication interactions and adverse reactions with allergens.
  • Task reminders are generated for when screenings are due within 2 weeks.
  • Access timeline for audit of historical actions and comments on screening records.
