Clinical References

The Provider's Custom Plan and My Custom Plan Setup templates are part of the Assessment Plan Customization template set up. The two custom plan templates include the ability to enter, edit, and remove clinical references for books, journals, and websites, etc. The clinical reference functionality makes the treatment plan templates more effective as you now know why it is recommended to perform certain tests for particular conditions.

On the Provider's Custom Plan template, a chain link icon appears when a reference exists for the corresponding order. If there is an icon next to row, hover your mouse over the name of the order, code, or chain link icon to display a tool tip with the associated reference.

The My Custom Plan Setup template includes a Reference field enabling you to free text the associated link and informational text letting you know that valid references are mandated as part of clinical decision support requirements. A tool tip revealing the reference title appears when the cursor hovers over a grid row where there is a Y (for yes) in the Ref column. An N (for no) populates in the Ref column if no reference is associated.
