Prevention Tab

Prevention screen in List Format

The Prevention tab is only available on Initials Views 1 and 2 of the Vision 3 Framework of Patient Record. It bears a strong resemblance to the VAMP Medical Prevention screen with familiar lines in the same order for Allergy/Intolerance, Blood Pressure, Cervical Cytology, Smoking, Alcohol, Recall, Immunisations, CHS, Height, Weight, and Occupation.

When you initially view the screen in list format, all lines are collapsed, so only the latest record is shown against each category (except for immunisations). The number in brackets after the category indicates how many clinical records are in that category.

  1. Click on the CM PRV Expand Icon to expand the lines in that category, and show any earlier records.
  2. Click on CM PRV Expand Icon to collapse the lines and show the latest record only.
    • Hide Data Entry form – If you click on Cancel on the data entry form in the bottom pane, or press the + key on the keyboard, this Add screen is hidden and you are able to see more of the listed entries. Pressing + key again redisplays the Add form.
    • Add - As you highlight a category line where there is existing data, eg Allergy, an corresponding Add screen is shown in the bottom section.

From any displayed Add screen in the bottom pane of the Prevention tab, you can also click on the selection arrow to the left of the Skip To button at the bottom right. Scroll up and down to find the category you want, then click on Skip To. The relevant Add screen displays. You can also use the Previous or Next buttons to the left of the window. For instance, if the Drug Allergy and Intolerance Add form displays, click on Next repeatedly until you reach the form you want.
