# Clinical Reminders for Clinical Quality Measures
> This article describes the Clinical Reminders feature and provides instructions on how to adjust Clinical Reminder Settings for Clinical Quality Measures.
## Overview
### What are Clinical Reminders?
Elation's Clinical Reminders feature surfaces notifications at the top of in-draft visit notes to remind providers of certain actions to take to address gaps in patient care based on the patient's demographics and recorded problems. Certain Clinical Reminders are tied to specific [Clinical Quality Measures](/admin-compliance) for [MIPS](/articles/MIPS-2026-Overview).
### What are benefits of Clinical Reminders?
Certain patients will require certain preventive care follow up or services based on their age and health conditions. As the patient's chart accumulates information over time, it may not be easy to readily identify when certain preventive care services are missing from the patient's care plan. Clinical Reminders will remind you when certain preventive care services are necessary.
### Who sees Clinical Reminders?
Clinical Reminders appear at the top of in-draft visit notes for both providers and staff when enabled. The table below summarizes how visibility and configuration work for each role.
| **Role** | **Can view Clinical Reminders in visit notes?** | **Can configure their own reminder preferences?** | **How reminders are controlled** |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Provider Level Users | Yes, if enabled | Yes | Each provider configures their own reminders under **Settings** > **Preferences** > **Clinical Reminders (MIPS)** |
| Staff Level Users (including nurses, medical assistants, and care coordinators) | Yes, if enabled | No | Users can configure reminders for all staff under **Settings** > **Clinical Care Measure Settings** |
Staff Level Users—including nurses—will see the same Clinical Reminders as providers when those reminders are enabled in **Clinical Care Measure Settings**. However, staff cannot customize which reminders they see individually; the settings apply to all Staff Level Users in the practice.
## Workflow Instructions
### Adjusting Clinical Reminders Settings
#### Adjusting Clinical Reminders Settings as a Provider Level User
##### Enabling Clinical Reminders
Each individual Provider Level User must adjust their own Clinical Reminders Settings. To enable Clinical Reminders as a Provider Level User:
1. Click on your email at the top of your Elation account and then click **Settings**.
2. Click **Preferences** to view your account preferences settings.
3. Go to the **Clinical Reminders (MIPS)** section and toggle the **Enable Clinical Reminder Service (CRS)** to **Yes** to enable Clinical Reminders for your own account.
4. Next, toggle any reminder's setting to **On** to enable that reminder. Enabled reminders will appear at the top of your visit note drafts whenever patients meet the conditions for those reminders.
These changes will only apply to your Provider Level account. Other Provider Level Users must adjust their own Clinical Reminders Settings. To change Clinical Reminders settings for all Staff Level Users in your practice, [see below](#adjust_settings_for_staff) .

##### Premium EHR features
Premium EHR Users can enable a feature that only allows Admin Level Users to access and edit the **Clinical Care Measure Settings** page. Once enabled, only Admin Level Users will see the **Clinical Care Measure Settings** page; non-Admin Level Users will not see this page in their Elation Settings.
This feature is part of Elation's Premium EHR offering. Once this feature is activated it will take effect immediately. If you are already a Premium EHR user and you are interested in using this feature, click **I need** **help** -> **Contact Elation Support** to notify Elation and a member of the Elation Team will activate the feature for you.
If you are interested in upgrading to Premium EHR to use this features, click **I need help** -> **Contract Elation Support** to notify Elation and a member of the Elation Team will assist you.
### Taking action on a Clinical Reminder
Enabled Clinical Reminders will always appear at the top of in-draft visit notes if the patient meets the conditions for that reminder.
* To address a Clinical Reminder during an encounter, click **Address** and then select the next appropriate action you will take to complete the requirements for the reminder.
* To dismiss a Clinical Reminder that will not be addressed during that encounter, click **Dismiss**. The same Clinical Reminder will reappear the next time a new visit note draft is open for that patient unless the conditions for meeting the Clinical Reminder have been met.
## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
### Can I add my own Clinical Reminder to this list?
You cannot add your own Clinical Reminders to Elation at this time. We will notify you if this changes.
### How do I bring a Clinical Reminder back if I accidentally clicked "Dismiss"?
If you clicked **Dismiss** for a Clinical Reminder, the reminder will only reappear the next time a new in-draft visit note is open unless the conditions for meeting the measure have been met. Best practice is to open a second in-draft visit note, copy the contents from the first in-draft visit note to the second in-draft visit note and then discard the first in-draft visit note. Afterwards you can address the Clinical Reminder again in the remaining in-draft visit note.
