Glossary

Clinical Reminders: The Clinical Reminder system is a built-in Clinical Decision Support (CDS)
system that allows the care team to track and improve preventive healthcare and disease
treatment for patients and ensure that timely clinical interventions are initiated. Clinical
Reminders perform automatic chart audits and schedule events based on pre-programmed
criteria. In other words, Clinical Reminders do a chart review and tell clinicians what the patient
needs, or which patients need something.
Reminder Inquiry: A reminder-specific summary of the data and criteria associated with an
individual reminder.
Reminder Description/Rationale: The human-readable description of the clinical purpose,
intent, and inclusion/exclusion criteria for the reminder.
