• Key Concepts: 
  A planning variant is a feature of the IS-HMED Clinical System that allows users to create and manage different versions of a plan. It enables users to define different versions of a plan, such as a standard version, an emergency version, or a version for a specific patient. The planning variant also allows users to store and manage different versions of the plan in the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the planning variant feature, users must first create a plan in the system. Once the plan is created, users can then create different versions of the plan by selecting the “Planning Variant” option from the menu. From there, users can define different versions of the plan and store them in the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating different versions of a plan, it is important to give each version a descriptive name so that it is easy to identify and access later. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which version is currently active so that changes made to one version do not affect other versions.
