Setting and understanding types of Alerts for Prescribers
An Alert is different from a notification – Alerts are assigned to a specific role, and will appear within the StrongCare database as a pop up alert, rather than be delivered like a Notification via email or SMS. Alerts require a specific action.
Setting Alerts
- Select the Settings tab under the Dashboard
- Navigate and click on Assign Alerts Channels
- Use the dropdown arrow to select the Role (e.g. Nurse, Prescriber)
- Click on the checkboxes next to the relevant Alerts
After you have selected the required alerts for this employee,
-
- Select Update Role Channels
- Click Close
Types of Alerts
Alerts include Expiring, Upcoming and general Alerts
-
Intermittent
This Alert will indicate that an Intermittent order will soon be upcoming for administration. It appears 14 days prior to the date of the next administration and allows 2 weeks to check or order stock prior to the next administration.
Chart Approaching Expiry
This Alert indicates that a medication chart order is approaching expiry. The Alert will fire at 14 days, 3 days, then 1 day - to give you time to alert the Prescriber. The Prescriber may also receive the alert.
Missed Administration
This Alert indicates that a medication was missed during the administration round. The alert will appear 2 hours after the medication has been missed, and will disappear after administration has been completed.
