Indicators for Care Guidelines

You can view the patient's care guidelines which are due with the help of the indicators adjacent to the care guidelines link.

Guidelines that are followed for the patient are listed in the left pane of the Care Guidelines Paged View and Care Guidelines templates.

The Care Guidelines link initially do not indicate any guideline items for the patient. If the guideline items are due for a patient, then the indicators are visible.

The care guidelines badge shows the number of care guidelines items that are due or not prescribed for the patient. The following indicators are visible:

  • The Care Guidelines link used to open the Care Guidelines Paged View template displays a badge with a number.
  • The number displayed on one badge may not be the same as the total numbers displayed on all the badges for guidelines listed in the left pane on both the templates.
  • One test may be part of more than one active guideline, but is only counted once on this badge.

The left panel of the Care Guidelines Paged View template lists guidelines that are actively being followed or applied for the patient.

  • Each guideline listed on the pane has a badge that displays the number of items that are due or recommended care medications that have not been prescribed.
  • Items that do not have a status of due or not prescribed are not included in this count.
