Updating a patient's recare

You can change the interval and/or due date of a recare that is attached to a patient's record as needed.

To update a patient's recare

How to get there

Use the Patient Search box to access a patient's record.
Notes:
- If the last patient record you accessed since you last logged on is the correct patient's record, you do not need to re-enter the patient's name in the Patient Search box.
- 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.
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.
  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.
- Next to Appointment, if there is a link that reads, "Unscheduled," click (or tap) the link to go the due date of the patient's recall in the schedule.
- Click (or tap) in the Due Date field, and then select a different date. Changing the due date does not change the Interval automatically.
Click (or tap) Save.
