You can set up the care guidelines for a patient and document the details on the Care Guidelines template.
In NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine, the Care Guidelines template is used to handle Health Maintenance and Disease Management functions, including guideline testing and screening, and recommended care.
You can open the
Care Guidelines template using the
Care Guidelines link, in the top navigation tabs of all the main tabbed templates for every specialty.
CAUTION:
Before using the
Care Guidelines template in a clinical setting with patients, content on the template should be carefully reviewed by the individuals who are responsible for maintaining the system. You can update as necessary to meet the needs of the practice.
Care Guidelines link is always available on the Care Guidelines template. But, when the items are due, it is indicated by a numeric digit beside the link.
On the
Care Guidelines template, guidelines listed in the left side pane under
Patient's guidelines have badges that display the number of items that are due or not prescribed. Guideline items that do not have a status of
due or
not prescribed are not included in this count.
