Brief Description of the Screening Triggers and their value in clinical practice
Users commonly report that the screening triggers are unable to be disabled on a per patient basis. For example, the pap smear goal cannot be made not to activate on a patient who meets the usual criteria for a pap smear but does not need one for other clinical reasons. We have now addressed this problem by linking some of the triggers to patient goals. Thus, when the goal is marked as no longer indicated the trigger no longer activates. Please see the document below for additional detail as to how to implement this new feature that significantly increases the value and usability of the screening triggers.
