Health Management Plan

Introduction

The Health Management Plan or HMP component of the Clinical Desktop is a tool used to prescribe and monitor events related to a patient’s health maintenance and disease management. It enables users to view and modify health maintenance items for the selected patient. For instance, if a patient has Asthma, a doctor might utilize the HMP module to review the patient’s albuterol dose, confirm the patient has had an influenza vaccine, monitor the patient’s symptoms in a flowsheet, and setup a yearly reminder for a flu shot.
