Patient Alerts help teams quickly spot important information about a patient or a specific visit. They act like digital cage cards that improve visibility and communication across departments in Instinct.
You can configure alerts as Visit Alerts or Patient Alerts, depending on how long the alert should remain visible.
Visit Alerts: Only display for the associated visit and reset once the patient has been checked out.
Patient Alerts: Display in bold for each visit the patient has and are not reset after the patient checks out.
Any user with the admin_alerts permission can manage Patient Alerts in Admin.
