Embedding a Guideline

There are already a number of pre-defined guidelines or report templates that you can embed into a guideline or report, rather than having to re-define them each time.

When embedding a guideline within a guideline, you could insert a fuller guideline consisting of several sub-headings with their patient data lines, for example, CVBP (CV and BP Management).

1. From your target guideline or report, select Maintenance Mode .
2. Click on the guideline or report where you want to embed a guideline and choose Select Guideline .
3. At the Select Guideline screen, select the guideline or report you want to embed. For example, to add a system report, enter 'R' and press Enter on the keyboard.
4. Highlight the guideline required and then select OK.
5. Now right click on the line and select Properties, there is an option Embedded. If ticked, then the new guideline is embedded in the current guideline. Otherwise it is available in a separate window, if you go to the Windows menu, you see both your original guideline/report, and the one you clicked on.
   • Embed a guideline - Alternatively, a guideline can be embedded within a guideline. The embedded guideline appears as an expandable line within the parent guideline, and can be expanded when it is clicked.
   • Jump to related guideline - There may either be the option to jump to another related guideline, for example, "Burn- unspecified" may include a See Also listing guidelines for more specific burns. Double clicking one of these will open the new guidelines, for example, "Burn of the trunk."
