Creating barrier categories

Barrier categories divide barriers into certain groups that the care team can assign when they are creating a barrier. Barrier categories give the team a way to filter barriers. If a suitable barrier category does not exist in the library of configured categories, you can create a new barrier category for the team to use.

1. Sign in with your administrator credentials.
   Your home page opens.
2. Click Care Planning > Barriers and select the Categories tab.
   The barrier categories are displayed.
3. Click New.
   The New Barrier Category page opens.
4. Enter a unique name that is at least 3 characters.
5. Click Save.
   The new barrier category becomes available for the care team to associate with barrier.
