You can define second-tier (follow-up) guidelines that automatically apply to a patient's active guidelines using the Intervention/Orders Setup panel.
The Intervention/Orders Setup panel allow you to create multiple follow-up (second-tier) guidelines for a care guideline item to ensure complete patient care.
When you select or set up a follow-up guideline item in the Intervention/Orders Setup panel, the Follow-Up to field appears with the corresponding first-tier guideline test name. By default, the Orders checkbox is selected. When you select the Orders link, the Follow-Up Guideline window opens.
If a second-tier guideline is no longer applicable to a patient, then you must remove it from the Intervention/Orders Setup panel. NextGen® Enterprise EHR does not automatically remove any guidelines from patient records.
