Manage Patient Population

Depending on user access level and permissions, and after an organization has been selected, the Manage Patient Population link becomes available in the Patient menu. The Manage Patient Population feature allows providers to manage their own patient lists. Users must have the Registry Client, Organization Client, or Facility Client access level in order to access the page.

To manage patients owned by an organization/facility, click the Patients > Manage Population menu link. The Manage Patient Population page opens. Limit the report as needed and click Search.

The ownership and service options work along with the Patient Status filter to determine which patients are displayed in the report. Use the guidelines below to produce the results that best meet your needs:
