At times staff members need a way to remind users of something that pertains to a specific patient, but does not necessarily pertain to a specific chart item or encounter. Previously users had the ability to send notifications on chart items or on an encounter; now users have the ability to send Chart Notifications.

Enable Chart Notifications in Global Settings.

Once enabled, the Chart Notifications option will appear on the top of the patient chart:

To add a new Chart Notification click the text "Chart" and enter the notification message and select the team or user who should receive the notification:

The counter will indicate how many open Chart Notifications exist on the patient.

To view all open Chart Notifications or to mark a Chart Notification 'Complete' click the bell icon.

Notification Quick Picks

Go to Admin > Decision Support > Notification Quick Pick to set up quick pick options. Select the "Chart Task" checkbox.
