Add Action is a method for Technicians and Clinicians to log the amount of time spent on HF/HTN patients. The Patient Action tracks the specific action a user has taken for a patient, which includes calling the patient, reviewing data, and more. The time associated is also totaled for each monitoring period and both are displayed and summarized on the HF/HTN Transmissions.
Each patient has a 20-minute requirement for action logging per month. Once a new action has been added, the dashboard will show the remaining action time for the month.
Viewing Actions
Actions are associated with individual patients. To view a log of actions and time spent for a specific patient, you must navigate to their Patient Profile page.
In a patient's profile page, click View Log to open a new window that displays a report of Action Time and Action Type.
