Activate Clinical Guidelines Template
![Page 52: Disclaimer This webinar may be recorded. This …...Disclaimer This webinar may be recorded.

Activate Clinical Guidelines Template• The Add/Update button on the Clinical Guidelines panel
opens the Activate Clinical Guidelines template where you activate or restore guidelines
• Tasks carried out on this template include:
Removing a clinical guideline or guideline item
Bringing back a removed clinical guideline or guideline item
Viewing clinical references for guideline items
Adding a diagnosis from the patient’s problem list to the patient’s ICD billing list
Reviewing clinical guideline history for the patient
• Activating a clinical guideline is performed initially, usually only once. The guideline must be activated before it can be followed the patient.
![Page 53: Disclaimer This webinar may be recorded. This …...Disclaimer This webinar may be recorded. This webinar presents a sampling of best practices and overviews, generalities, and some](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bbf5ad647fa1af0555dcf/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Activating a Guideline• Clinical guidelines for health maintenance or a disease
condition that you want to follow for a patient must first be activated before you can use the Care Guidelines system with the patient
• Guidelines are activated on the Active Guidelines panel of the Activate Clinical Guidelines template
• Activating a clinical guideline is performed initially, usually only once
• If you attempt to activate a guideline that has already been activated, you will be asked if you would like to re-apply the guideline
• “Re-applying a guideline” can be done if certain items within the guideline are not being followed, and now you wish to add them so that you can follow them
![Page 54: Disclaimer This webinar may be recorded. This …...Disclaimer This webinar may be recorded. This webinar presents a sampling of best practices and overviews, generalities, and some](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022043019/5f3bbf5ad647fa1af0555dcf/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Remove/Restore Guidelines• Guidelines that have been activated for a patient by
mistake can only be removed in the same encounter in which they were activated
The time to remove an entire or any individual guideline item is before you have started using it. Once you have data attached to the guideline or guideline item, you will not be able to remove it.
• A guideline item that has been removed can be restored by re-applying the guideline that activated it for the patient (This means activating the guideline again)
• When you re-apply a guideline, the system will go through all of the existing items that are active, and will only re-apply the one that is missing from the set for the condition

Remove/Restore Guidelines• The Remove/Restore Guidelines panel on the Activate Clinical
Guideline pop-up template is where you can remove individual guideline items or an entire clinical guideline by disease condition
• If you change your mind, you can restore guidelines that have been removed
• You can remove an individual guideline item that will not be followed while the remaining items for the guideline are followed for the patient

Items to Consider• There is a warning in the install guide that when you auto-
apply 5 or more care guideline conditions in the system template there may be an impact on performance
• When you auto-apply a guideline it applies patient by patient and does not apply until you go into the patient and open either SOAP or Intake
• The user now has the ability to order labs, tests, and more right from the care guidelines template which sends them to the order module for processing
This requires NextGen Compendium mapping to all labs which the care guidelines tests may be ordered from
This will also require someone to open the Lab/Radiology Order Processing template after the order is placed in care guidelines, select the vendor and push the order to the Orders Module

Client ExperienceCurrently, we have a few clients who have implemented this and have started training, and while there have been some challenges, overall providers really like it.
