How to Add a Resident for Monitoring

Resident Monitoring is a temporary status that can set for a resident as a result of an event or incident. When added for monitoring, residents appear in the Resident Monitoring center so you can review and record vitals, notes, and interventions. 

💡Tip: Monitoring Reasons, Interventions, and End Reasons are customizable in Resident Settings.

Locate Resident Monitoring

Any of these locations in ALIS open the same form:

• Monitoring Center: the Monitored Residents dashboard icon, or Residents menu → Resident Monitoring
• Resident Profile: the Monitor Resident button under the photo
• Incident Report: the Monitor Resident button at the bottom

Add a Resident for Monitoring

1. Click +Resident For Monitoring (or Monitor Resident).
2. In the side pane, set the required fields:
   • Resident
   • Duration
   • Monitoring Reasons
   • Interventions
3. (Optional) Add a Reason Summary and Intervention Summary (up to 2,000 characters each).
4. Click Submit. 

The resident now appears under Actively Monitoring, with a Monitor badge on their profile photo.
