The Alert Type Setup is where you can define the custom patient alerts, client alerts, and other types of alerts that appear throughout the system. These alerts can be flagged to appear on the schedule screen, or only appear under certain conditions, such as when a specific product is prescribed to a patient. Each alert can also have a custom icon added if desired. Certain episode alerts appear automatically in the system and cannot be disabled or customized.
Certain patient alerts appears automatically in the system:
Certain client alerts appear automatically in the system:
Client alerts appear for all clients associated with a patient, including RDVMs, clinics and all owners. List of Alert TypesThe alerts that are in the system will appear in a single window on the screen, with pagination. An overview of the details for the alerts appears in the columns.
Alert Sort OrderThe Alert Sort Order controls how each alert will appear when multiple alerts are present on a page. The most crucial alerts should be sorted near the top, while alerts of lesser importance can be sorted near the bottom. Alerts that also only appear under certain conditions, such as when a patient's order exceeds the most recent estimate, should also be sorted near the top, as they won't appear until the condition is fulfilled but are important when it is met. Select the record you want to move from the list, and then use the Up and Down buttons on the top menu to control their order.
Add New AlertTo create a new custom alert, click on the Add New Alert button. The Add/Edit window for alerts will open. Fill in each of the fields to control how and where this alert will appear.

Alerts inherited from a generic family appear in bold and blue text. Additional custom alerts for this product specifically appear in normal text.
