Vasc-Alert User Documentation

Using the Quick Form to Log Referrals from Other Systems

The referral Quick Form is used to log referrals that have been created in another system so that they become part of the Vasc-Alert record.   To streamline this process, only a minimum of information is required.  The option is available from the Tools menu next to the patient's name in the Patient List, on the Patient Detail report, and in the Create Referral section of the home page.  The form can also be used to log a related intervention, if it has already occurred.

 

 

Note:  If you want to use the Vasc-Alert Referral Module to create a complete referral package for printing a new referral, see Generating Referral Packages with the Vasc-Alert Referral Module.

 

The Quick Form was designed to record basic information about the referral, including date, at least one indication, nephrologist, requested procedure and access center.  If the access center is not already available in the drop-down list, you can enter the name, address and phone number, and it will be saved.

After you click "Save," you may continue to add information to the referral, or enter information about a subsequent intervention using the other tabs. You can also delete the referral record entirely.

When you have finished working with the Quick Referral form and saved it, click on the Patient Treatments Overview link above the patient's name or on the Patient Data link in the navigation bar.
