Create a Custom Flow to Add Medications

Provide additional flexibility for your clinicians to add medications by using a custom flow instead of the built-in Add Patient Medication or Add Basic Medication Details flow. Depending on your business needs, you can set up a custom flow and associate it with the Patient Medication Manager lightning component.

Available in: Lightning Experience

Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Health Cloud


User Permissions Needed
To associate the custom flow to the component: Read permission on Account object
  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Flows, and then select Flows.
  2. Design and create a flow to suit your clinician’s needs.
  3. To ensure your flow is compatible with the Patient Medication Manager lightning component, add an input variable called recordId for Person Account records.
  4. Go to the Lightning App Builder from the Person Account record page. On the Patient Medication Manager component, select the custom flow from the Add Medication Flow dropdown menu.

Now, when your clinicians start adding a medication, the custom flow is triggered instead of the built-in flow.
