Updating a patient's recare

You can change the interval and/or due date of a recare that is attached to a patient's record as needed.

To update a patient's recare

How to get there

Use the Patient Search field to access a patient's record.

Notes:
- If the last patient record you accessed since you last logged on is the correct patient's record, you do not need to re-enter the patient's name in the Patient Search field.
- You can include inactive patients in the search results by setting the Include inactive patients toggle switch to On.
Important: If the Access Confidential Patient window displays after selecting the patient from the search results, it means the patient is a confidential patient and you don't have the security rights to access their record. To continue, a user with the security rights must enter their credentials into the window. Once given access, you have access to the patient's information until your session expires.
From the Patient menu, under General, clicktap Recare.

The Recare page displays.

On a patient's Recare page, select a recare type.

The options for editing recare become available.
Complete any of the following:
- Interval - Displays how often a patient should be seen for this recare type. You can change the interval by entering a different number and selecting Weeks, Months, or Years from the drop-down list. If you edit the interval, the Due Date is updated automatically.
- Due Date - Displays the calendar date of when the patient's next recare is for the selected recare type. The system automatically enters an applicable date, but you can change it as desired. Changing the due date won't change the interval automatically.
- Note - The recare note is a helpful tool that you can use to improve your communication with the patient regarding their recare. Enter any information or thoughts regarding the patient's recare. You can add the current date by clickingtapping the Insert Date button.
ClickTap Save.
