MDS 2.0 - Resident Dashboard - Clinical Alerts

The Clinical Alerts pane on the Resident Dashboard shows notifications generated from multiple areas in PointClickCare. High risk alerts indicate a change, or event requiring timely attention/intervention. MDS questions can trigger high risk alerts for specific responses.

  1. Locate Dashboard pane.

  2. Locate Clinical Alerts pane.

  3. Options / Actions:

    • Show Alerts in Last - select from the list.

    • Select Complex Alert Documentation Report or Clinical Alerts Listing Report for a printable view based on the selected filters.

    • Select View Link if available to see details for the alert.

    • Click Clear Alerts after selecting one or more alerts, a message appears. Click OK to confirm. The alert(s) is/are cleared, and your name is recorded for the action.

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

  • Be careful using Check All and Clear Alerts – clearing an alert does not have an undo option and your username is recorded for each action.

  • The Clinical > Reports > Alert Listing report provides additional criteria and filters.

  • MDS questions must be configured to trigger high risk alerts (Clinical > Setup > MDS Triggers).

  • You must have appropriate security permissions for the Clinical Alerts pane.

  • If you do not have security to edit your dashboard layout, this pane needs to be added to a dashboard layout for you. Contact your System Administrator.
