What is Patient Prompt?
The Patient Prompt informs clinicians of important recalls and milestones that require follow up. It provides integrated reminders to regularly update and review areas such as CVD risk, smoking status, cessation and education, cervical smears, mammograms, flu vaccinations and other aspects of a patient’s health records as required.

Reference material
How it works
Patient Prompt searches for issues in four specific areas:
- Clinical reviews that are due or imminent (for example, CVD and diabetes reviews)
- Clinical data that is missing (for example, height, weight, blood pressure)
- Clinical/lifestyle recommendations that are appropriate (for example, diet/exercise advice).
- Clinical data indicating action is appropriate (for example, elevated HbA1c, not on insulin).
Types of intervention
Where an intervention is desirable, Patient Prompt provides an optional mechanism to remedy each issue identified. This may involve any of the following:
- Running another application (for example the Common Form when a CVD review is required).
- Entering clinical data directly in Patient Prompt which is written back to the PMS.
- Providing access to patient information.
