- Priority 3 - 9, are available for the practice to use as they see fit. This should be consistent across the practice. The following is a recommendation based on common Priority use:
- Priority 3, normal or routine diagnosis or summary items.
You can update the default for Priority from the Consultation Manager set up screens, see Consultation Manager Setup - Data Entry for details.
Training Tip - If you are migrating from a system where Medical History entries do not have a Priority recorded, you can create groups using Vision 3Search and Reports and update Priorities in bulk, for example, change all Asthma diagnosis entries to a priority 1. See Priority Update in the Utilities Help Centre for details.
See Listing Medical Histories for details on displaying medical entries by priority.
