Add a health condition

Lumary DC - This article explains how to add a health condition to a client's record.

Health condition records capture details about the client's condition and medical officer. Health conditions can be displayed as alerts to notify workers before they provide services.

Alerts can also be displayed for high intensity needs, risks, and personal support plans.

To add a health condition:

1. Go to the client's record.
2. Click on the Support Needs tab.
3. Click on the Health & Wellbeing tab.
4. Locate the Health Conditions section.
5. Click on the New button.

This will open a New Health Condition form. The following table describes the fields in this form. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk. Filling in some fields reveals or activates additional options.

Field	Use and purpose
* Client	This field is auto-filled with the name of the client.
Status	Set the status to Active.

If you've ticked the High Intensity Need checkbox, you'll need to complete a New High Intensity Need form.

7. Once you complete any additional forms that appear based on your selections, review the details.

The new record will now be listed under Health Conditions on the Support Needs - Health & Wellbeing tab. To edit or delete this record:
