2. Select the name of the reminder you wish to add.
3. Select the due date for the reminder.
4. If the reminder should be for a unit other than the one the patient is currently visiting (e.g. a reminder for a check up with cardiology when the patient is in for an X-ray) then select the unit
5. Add any relevent information into the comments
6. Click save
7. Multiple reminders can be added at a time

Reminders can be viewed from the Reminder Widget, and also from the Reminders Worklist.
