Clinical Item Keywords
Clinical Item Keywords are words that can be used to locate clinical item types. For example, the words 'Glue', 'Otitis', 'Media' and 'OM' could all be keywords for the term 'Glue ear'. This enables the clinical term to be found easily without knowing the exact wording.

Special keywords
All keywords starting with the dollar ($) sign (except recall keywords ) are added to the bottom of the Clinical Record as Clinical Item categories. You can define any number of Clinical Item categories, however, you should restrict the number of buttons to those that will fit into a single row of buttons on the smallest screen resolution used by any user. This should ideally be about 8-12 buttons.
Recall keywords
The keyword $Recall adds the item to which it is attached to the 'Add Manual Recall' button of the Clinical Record. The item is treated as a manual recall.
