Your Guide to Patient Alerts

Patient Alerts in YAPI are visual cues on the dashboard that serve as a reminder. You are able to hover your mouse over any alert to see additional information.

For example, the allergy alert is in the form of a red dot. if you hover over the red dot and you will see what the patient is allergic to.

Alerts can be Automated or Manual set.

Automated alerts are created when YAPI scans the patient’s record looking for specific information such as allergies and medical history.

The meaning of some of the most common Automated Alerts can be found below:

•  Red cross = medical alert
•  Green money sign = the patient has an existing balance
•  Capsule = medication (hover and see all of the patient’s medications)
•  Yellow flag = appointment notes
•  Yellow form = team huddle notes
•  Birthday icon = patient’s birthday
•  Shadow = no photo on file (take one today!)
•  Gold star = patient has responded to surveys
•  Green recycling sign = patient is due for cleaning at a later time or does not have an appointment
•  Red heart = patient has given the office a good review
•  Red dot = patient allergies
•  Green dot = a patient's "speed pass" to checkout
•  Exclamation = patient has missing information
•  Crown = this is a new patient!

Medical Alerts are those that YAPI users can customize and add on their own. It can be made permanent on the patient’s file or remain for only the current visit. This is a great way to alert the staff of patient preferences or the patient’s state of mind. For instance, it can be good to know if the patient is nervous so that the staff can do their best to make them feel extra relaxed.

To add a Manual or Custom alert, simply click on the red button. Choose the alert type and include any notes. These alerts can be added at any time, even if the patient is not in the office. Maybe the scheduler learns during a phone confirmation that the patient needs to be somewhere right after the appointment. They can make a note to alert the staff of this request so that they can be taken in as soon as they get there.

Be sure to make the most of your YAPI by knowing the meaning of the alerts at a glance and by creating your own.
