Creating alerts

You can create alerts for the care team to highlight some aspect of a client's care that needs their action or attention, for example, a Blood Pressure alert.

About this task

You can associate an external system reference with the alert record that you are creating. When sending an alert as an API attribute, the external system identifies the alert name by its external system reference.
