To update a patient's recare

How to get there

If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search box to access the patient's record.
Note: You can include inactive patients in the search results by setting the Include inactive patients switch to On.
On the Patient menu, under General, click (or tap) Recare.
The Recare page opens.

On a patient's Recare page, select a recare type.
Note: Primary recare types are bold for quick identification.
The options for attaching recare become available.
Do any of the following:
- Next to Interval, enter a number, and select Weeks, Months, or Years to specify how often a patient with this recare type attached to his or her record should be seen for this type of recare. The Due Date is updated automatically.
  With the workflow compliance feature for your location turned off, each time you complete an appointment with this recare type attached, the due date for the patient's next recare appointment (of this recare type) advances by the specified interval, and a message appears and asks if you want to schedule the next recare appointment.
- Click (or tap) in the Due Date box, and then select a different date. Changing the due date does not change the Interval automatically.
Note: Next to Appointment, if there is a link that reads, "Unscheduled," you can click (or tap) the link to go the due date of the patient's recare in the schedule.
Click (or tap) Save.
