The Emergency Packet is an easy-to-generate collection of documents that can be customized to meet your organization's needs. Efficiently print all Emergency Packet documents for a resident with one click.
Emergency Packet Permission
The ability to generate a resident's Emergency Packet requires a specific security role permission. This permission is enabled by default for most clinical and administrative security roles. It is highly advised that your team designate at least one person staffed per shift has this permission enabled and knows how to generate and print this file if needed in an emergency.
Any adjustments needed to your company's security role permissions requires the ALIS team. If you are a company administrator and need assistance with updating security roles configuration, contact your Account Manager or our ALIS Customer Success Team.
