Clinical Dashboard - Clinical Alerts in POC

The Clinical Alerts pane on the Clinical Dashboard shows notifications generated from multiple areas in PointClickCare, including POC. These “high risk” alerts indicate a change or event requiring timely attention/intervention.

Locate Dashboard pane

  1. Hover over Clinical > select Dashboard under the Care Management heading.

  2. Locate Clinical Alerts pane.

  • Show Alerts in Last - select an option from list

  • Select view link if available to see details for the alert

  • Click Check All to select the check boxes for all alerts in this filtered view

  • Click New Alert to manually create an alert from this dashboard pane

  • If using Check All and Clear Alerts, be aware that clearing an alert does not have an “undo” option and your user name is recorded for each action

  • The Clinical > Reports > Alert Listing report provides more criteria and filters, e.g. filtering by Unit/Floor

  • Click the Resident Name link to open the dash tab of the selected resident’s chart. The Alerts pane for that specific resident can be viewed.
