Once a vaccine is marked as Complete, the Reminders section of the Patient Info Bar updates to reflect the Reminder Label of the vaccine given and the Next Due date.
📓 Please Note: Completing a vaccine treatment will automatically update and replace any existing reminders for associated Reminder Labels. This means that any existing Reminder Notes will no longer display.
Clicking on the Reminder in the Reminders section of the Patient Info Bar allows you to Edit the Valid For date, Add or Edit any Reminder Notes, or deactivate the Vaccine Reminder
Hovering over the Reminder Label in the Patient Info Bar displays a tooltip if there are any Reminder Notes or Treatment Notes
Adding a Vaccine Reminder
For instances where Vaccines were given at another facility, you can add a Vaccination Reminder manually by clicking on the 3-dot menu in the Reminders section in the Patient Info Bar and selecting +Add Reminder:
You can search for and choose any active reminder label, regardless of class, from the dropdown menu.
This allows you to send a reminder notification to the client for vaccines given in the past that were not part of the patient’s Instinct medical history.
Once the Vaccination Reminder has been added, the Reminders section will update displaying the Vaccines with sooner Next Due dates at the top:
💡 ProTip: Patients must have at least one visit in Instinct before you can view their Chart and enter Vaccination Reminders. We suggest checking them in to the On-The-Way board to upload any medical records and update vaccine reminders prior to their first visit.
Deceased Patient Reminders
When patient is marked as Deceased, any Reminders will be immediately set to inactive and will no longer display on the Reminders section of the Patient Info Bar.
If a patient was marked as Deceased in error and the box is unchecked, any Reminders from before they were marked as deceased will display again and can be reactivated by clicking directly on the Reminder and toggling Active to ON.
