Profile: Allergies and Diagnosis
Every resident or individual you support will have some very important medical information. It's important for you to know how to set this allergy and diagnosis information so that it shows on all documentation. Let's take a look at how these sections work in the profile and some other profile sections.
Allergies
- From your list of residents or individuals click where you see View Profile.
- Next click on the Medical Info tab.
- On the left you will see that you are in the Diagnosis and Allergies tab.
