Alerts

These alerts are critical for identifying a patient’s allergies, health issues, or potential dangers. Alerts are setup with a checkbox as a yes/no indicator. If the box is checked, the alert applies to the patient. The alerts then display on the Patient Overview window and in the Patient Information window. Alerts can be set to trigger the Patient Information window anytime the Patient Chart is opened.

There are some sample alerts already created in QSIDental Web that include allergies, diseases and other medical issues. Headers (blue bars) can be used to organize the information. A practice may add to, edit or remove any of these sample items.

Launch the Medical Alerts Setup window by selecting Medical Alerts from the Medical Setup section of the Setup menu.

The left section shows the alert items listed with the header categories in an approximation of the medical information window. Individual items can be moved up or down the list using the up/down chevrons on the right side. Click the Proof Finalize button at any time to see a mock-up of the Alerts window. Be sure to do this at the end to save any changes.

To set up alerts:

1. Click the Add New button (or select an existing alert and click the Edit button.)
2. Complete the box as desired

   

   1. Click the Header? checkbox to use the description as a category header instead of as a specific alert.
