Pausing and resuming patient continuous monitoring notification configurations

Continuous devices send frequent readings, which can generate repeated notifications while the care team is addressing a situation. Pausing a Hi/Lo or Delta configuration helps reduce notification fatigue by stopping new notifications and emails for that rule. Other configurations remain active. Resume the configuration when notifications are required again, following your program’s monitoring procedures.

Open the patient Notifications tab

Select the Notifications tab to view the patient’s notification configurations.

Pausing a Notification

Identify the notification you want to pause. Review its result type, description, and criteria to ensure you select the correct row.

Select **Pause** in the selected configuration’s row. While paused, that configuration will not generate new notifications or send new notification emails when its thresholds are met. Other notification configurations for the patient continue to operate.

While **paused**, that notification will not generate new notifications or send new notification emails when its thresholds are met. Other notification configurations for the patient continue to operate.

Confirm the Paused status

Confirm that **paused** text appears beside intended Notification Result Type

**Important: Paused notifications do not resume automatically.** The selected configuration will remain paused until a clinician explicitly selects Resume. **While paused, it will not generate new notifications or notification emails.**

Resume the Notification Alerts

When notifications are required again, return to the patient’s Notifications tab. Locate the paused configuration and select the **Play button** to **Resume**. The notification will now become active again and can generate new notifications and notification emails according to its criteria.

Confirm the Notification status has been Resumed

Confirm that the paused text disappears and the control changes back to Pause.

**Important:** Pausing applies only to the selected configuration. Repeat these steps for each additional configuration you need to pause. Follow your program’s monitoring procedures while notifications are paused, and ensure the appropriate configurations are resumed when required.
