Overview
The Case tab is used to set case user preference, which controls whether an alert is shown when a patient is over 70 years old after the birth date is entered for a new patient.
User preferences can be overridden, but will remain in effect for this workstation until it is changed in Preferences. Anyone who logs onto this workstation will use this preference as the default value for detecting when a patient is over 65 years old.
