When a provider documents an intervention for an eligible patient encounter, it counts towards EHR Clinical Quality Measures. Interventions are documented while entering patient EHR Vital Signs and Smoking Status, or can be viewed and added on the Interventions window.

To view all patient's interventions, on the EHR Dashboard, click Interventions.

Adding interventions

1. Click Add.
   
2. Enter the intervention date. Today's date is the default.
3. Highlight the intervention. To filter the list by type, click the Code Set dropdown.

5. Enter a note (optional).
6. Click OK. If you select a medication, the Medication for Patient window will open so you can enter instructions and start date. The medication will also be added to the patient's Medications List.
