The activity
The Central Clinic has developed a notification process in the electronic health record system.
Its purpose is to inform providers when a patient may be due for certain preventive care
procedures and tests. These preventive care reminders are displayed in the patient's EHR on
the Alerts tab and on the patient info bar with a clock symbol. When a clinical reminder is due,
the clock turns red and is accompanied by a number which signifies the number of due
reminders.
Central Clinic’s standard preventive care clinical reminder recommendations were developed
based on current research and national guidelines for the general population. Each standard

, preventive care clinical reminder is for patients who are at average risk for a particular
condition. Patients who are at high risk will need a custom clinical reminder. For example,
Central Clinic’s recommendation for women at an average risk of breast cancer is to begin
yearly mammograms at age 40. Breast cancer survivors or women at a high risk for breast
cancer due to family history or other factors should work with their physician to create an
individualized screening plan.
At each patient visit, the healthcare team should review preventative care clinical reminders
and discuss any questions or concerns the patient may have. Preventive care clinical reminders
should be resolved if the patient received the care elsewhere. The healthcare team should also
document any procedures that have been completed at a non-Central Clinic facility, so the
record can stay up to date. Certain preventive care procedures, such as a mammogram or
colonoscopy, require a record of the procedure to update the Central Clinic EHR.
Launch the patient’s EHR included with this activity under 2: Launch EHR. Go to the Alerts tab
and review the clinical reminders. Answer the questions below.
Questions
1. What Clinical Reminders are listed in this patient’s EHR? Influenza vaccine, NKA, Lipid
Measurement, Colorectal Cancer screening
2. Which Clinical Reminder(s) are Due for this patient? Influenza vaccine
3. Which Clinical Reminder(s) are Overdue for this patient? Colorectal Cancer Screening
4. Which Clinical Reminder(s) are Not Due for this patient? Lipid Measurement
5. How is the Colorectal Cancer Screening Clinical Reminder resolved? Screen with highly
sensitive guaiac based fecal occult blood test every year.
6. How is the Lipid Measurement Clinical Reminder resolved? Draw fasting lipoprotein
profile each year. Resolved with documented Lipid Profiel in Labs.
7. What is the schedule, or frequency, of the Lipid Measurement Clinical Reminder? Every
year
8. How long ago was the Lipid Measurement Clinical Reminder last done? 05/30/2025
9. Is there documentation in the EHR that resolves the Lipid Measurement Clinical
Reminder? Describe. Hint: View the other tabs in the chart. Pending order for
lipoprotein profile for 05/30/2025.
