CREATING YOUR OWN PATIENT LIST
►
You can create a patient to list to use by either of two methods.
►
You can use the “Recently Accessed List “choice which is automatic
and involves you only having to open a patient and view results to
add to your list. Patients automatically get dropped off after 14 days
of discharge. Or you can make selection “remove from recently
accessed list”
►
You can alternatively make a “Personal List”. This requires more
maintenance on your part but gives more control on who gets on
your list and when they get taken off.
