What is a Priority?

Priorities are a way of categorising your Medical History entries.

Each Medical History entry can be allocated a Priority number from 0-9 as per your practice protocols.

Within Vision Anywhere, Medical History entries with a Priority of:

  • 0 (zero), indicate an entry that is sensitive, confidential or secure diagnosis or summary.

    Note - Priority 0 (zero) items will display as an entry with no information on the Patient Summary in a future release, so please use appropriately.

  • 1 - 2, that have a diagnosis clinical term, populate the Medical History - Significant Diagnoses section of the Patient Summary.

  • 1, that have an operation clinical term, populate the Medical History - Significant Procedures section of the Patient Summary.

  • 3 - 9, are available for the practice to use as they see fit. This should be consistent across the practice. The following is a recommendation based on common Priority use:

    • Priority 3, normal or routine diagnosis or summary items.
Training Tip - If you are migrating from a system where Medical History entries do not have a Priority recorded, you can create groups using Vision 3 Search and Reports and update Priorities in bulk, for example, change all Asthma diagnosis entries to a priority 1. See Priority Update in the Utilities Help Centre for details.
