Maintain Patient Recalls

With the Maintain Patient Recalls function, you can add, change, or delete patient recall information.

Upon accessing this function, you must first select a patient. If there are any previously stored recalls on the patient account, the Recall Summary screen lists them. You can edit, print, delete, or review a recall in detail, by selecting it. To select a recall, click anywhere on the row containing the recall information. To add a new recall record, click Add a Recall in the Action Column.

A date displays in the Printed column showing when a recall card, label, or listing has been printed for the recall record.

If the patient account does not contain any stored recalls, the Maintain Recall screen displays containing blank data fields for entering a new recall record.
NOTE: If you enter a recall with a duplicate recall date, a 'Recall already exists for this date' message displays. You must edit the existing recall or change the date on the new recall.
