The Asthma Management Screen has its own quick data entry form and the CV/BP Management Screen and Diabetic Management screen share the same form. This topic describes both of these quick data entry forms.

  • BP - This will allow the entry of up to three blood pressure readings and the filing of just the latest, all the readings, or an average. If only one of the three readings is to be filed, it is easy to remove the other two as they are recorded in the different boxes
  • Edit - Default values for laterality, position, and cuff are assumed but these can be edited

    Note - The blood pressure readings can be recorded in any format eg 120 80. 120/80, 120\80, 120-8-, 120,80, 120.80 - all formats are converted to the standard notation.
