Adding Triggers to a Question

After questions are added to a form, you can add triggers for certain question types. Triggers are suggested items that push out to other areas of the application based on a question response.

There are several trigger types.

  • Service Plan Triggers - You can set a trigger for a Focus, Goal and/or Intervention. Triggered items flow to the View Triggered Items Now section of the resident's Service Plan.

  • Task Triggers - You can set a trigger for a Task using Focus Categories or the Task Library. Triggered items flow to the View Triggered Items Now section of the resident's Tasks tab and/or Service Plan.

  • Assessment Schedule Triggers - You can set a trigger for a form. Triggered items flow to the Next Form Due section of the Resident's Forms tab.

  • High Risk Alert Triggers - You can set a trigger for a High Risk Alert using the Standard Alert Library, eINTERACT alerts (if applicable), COMS® alerts (if applicable), or by creating a new alert. Triggered items flow to the Care Services Dashboard.

  • eINTERACT Triggers (available in Change in Condition Evaluation only): Allows you to set up and view eINTERACT Trigger notifications in the Alert pane on the Care Services Dashboard and resident Dashboard.

  • Care Program: Creates a Care Program in the Care Program tab of the resident's chart. Care Programs must be enabled in your community to see this option.

  2. Click edit for the form.
