Accessing Vision+

You can access Vision+ functionality from:

Consultation Manager

When you select a patient in Consultation Manager, the Vision+ floating toolbar and any relevant alerts for the selected patient display.

If the Alert Indicator does not display immediately, Vision+ is updating and a warning message displays:

Select the down arrow of the Vision+ floating tool bar to access the Vision+ patient centric menu:

• QOF/QAIF Templates - Designed to collect QOF/QAIF information in a step-by-step protocol based format. QOF/QAIF Templates show real time data and use the same colour coding scheme as Contract Indicator Alerts.
• Clinical Templates - Provides step-by-step protocols for general data entry and disease management.
• Add to Register - Allows you to quickly add patients to a QOF/QAIF disease register.
• Calculators - There are a variety of calculators and questionnaires available to help manage patient care.
• Warfarin Monitor (if enabled) - A powerful tool for monitoring INR results and advising on dosing regimes.
• SMS Message - Enables you to send individual SMS text messages.
  Note - You can reposition the floating toolbar anywhere you want within the Consultation Manager window. Vision 3 remembers where you last positioned the floating toolbar for when you next login.

With a patient selected, the Vision+ menu for patient specific functionality is available from the Vision+ icon on the Windows Notification Tray:
