Description

This page will detail the steps to take when adding HMP or Text Reminders to a Patient Action Set within Population Health Management

HMP Reminders

HMP Reminders are defined in the Patient Action Sets and serve as reminders to physicians to take specific action for each patient whom an HMP Reminder has been created for as a result of the Patient Action Set. The following HMP Reminder types are available:

  • Orders
  • Medication/Immunization Admin
  • Free Text


Free Text Reminders are not associated with an order, medication or immunization. Free Text Reminders can be added to a Patient Action Set and created when a population query runs and can also be added directly from the ACI, similar to the other HMP Reminder types.

HMP Reminders are created from the HMP Reminders tab on the Add/Edit Patient Action Sets workspace. On the HMP Reminders tab, one can also modify and remove HMP Reminders.

In the following example, we will create an Order Reminder and a Free Text Reminder for the Breast Cancer Screening Patient Action Set.

7. In the Select a Frequency Method section, select one of the following frequency methods for the HMP Reminder:

  • Recurring - allows one to generate an HMP Reminder one or multiple times on a recurring schedule. As for the HMP Reminder itself, the To Do Date is automatically calculated from the Most Recent Date if it exists in the patient's chart. If there is not a Most Recent Date then the To Do Date is calculated from the Start Date.
  • Age Based - this option is most commonly used for calculating childhood immunizations, however it can be used in many other workflows. One can use the Months and Years grids to select the age of the patient at which the HMP Reminder should be generated.
