Clinical Reminders, Tasks and Notifications

This article explains how to create tasks and reminders in the clinical record, and how to action tasks via either the clinical record or the clinical reminders screen.

Clinical Notifications is a term that includes both Clinical reminders and Clinical tasks.

A Clinical Task is an action that you assign to yourself during a consult that must be completed by a future date. An example of a task could be to review the patient's medical history.

A Clinical Reminder is a reminder for the patient, created by the clinic. An example of a clinical reminder would be a clinical review, assessment, a BP check or a care plan.
