Flagging Suitable Chronic Medication Service (CMS) Patients

As CMS results in a lessening of clinical and administrative workload, we suggest you flag patients who are potentially suitable for CMS. This can act as a prompt for you during a consultation to review the patient for CMS participation. There are two ways of flagging patients as potentially suitable for CMS:

  • Using Populate CMSSuitability .
  • Marking individual patients as suitable for CMS.

Other points to note:

  • Suitable patients can be flagged before CMS is enabled on your system.
  • You must be part of the Clinical Managers security group to flag a patient as suitable for CMS.
  • You can generate a report which lists all the patients suitable forCMS, see Chronic Medication Service (CMS) Patient Suitability for details.
