Receiving an Alert

When you receive an alert, you receive a notification if the alert has not already been accepted and if it has not yet expired, or if the alert can be accepted by multiple people and you have not accepted it. The alert is added to the list of conversations in the Home screen.

If the context of the alert is a specific patient, information on this patient is displayed in the alert if your administrator has granted you permission to view patient data. Otherwise, the location of the patient is displayed.
