The Reminders tab at the top of the Summary and Sign screens displays a listing of health monitoring items based on the patient's sex, age, and past medical history. Reminders are only displayed when applicable to the patient.
The LMR reviews clinical and medical record data to determine if a reminder is indicated for each item. For example, for patients over 65 years old, the LMR checks to see that a pneumovax has been recorded (using either the Health Monitoring or Immunization module). If not found, the LMR displays the reminder, "Patient is due for Pneumovax."
Click a reminder, if applicable, to display a screen to document action related to that reminder. Doing so clears the reminder from this screen, and moves it to an inactive status.
