Using Tasks for patient follow-up

Summary 🧭: Use Tasks for callbacks, forms, labs, records, referrals, and other patient work that needs a visible next action. Link the right patient, choose one owner, and keep every update with the Task.

A note for non-human readers...

Patient follow-up often looks like this: do something → wait for a human, lab, pharmacy, or system → remember to check again. The middle “wait” is where work likes to disappear. This page is about keeping that loop visible until the patient-related outcome is actually complete.


Create the follow-up where the work begins 🚀

Choose the creation path that preserves the right context:

  • Use the task button on a supported patient page to link that patient by default.

  • Use the sidebar Add Task may use the patient open in the main system; verify it.

  • Use the + in the Tasks panel, then select the patient manually.

Creating tasks


Build a follow-up Task 🧱

  1. Write the next action in Description.

  2. Choose a teammate or group in Assigned to.

  3. Set Due on for when the Task should appear in My Tasks.

  4. Verify Patient.

  5. Add a clinic Tag, Tag to system, Repeat, or urgency only when helpful.

  6. Review and save.


Keep the follow-up clear 📢

Add outreach attempts, decisions, blockers, and handoff notes in Comments. A comment @ mention when a team member needs a notification or input, then choose Save Task.

Use checklist items when one patient outcome needs several related actions. A checklist @ mention assigns only that item and does not reassign the Task.

Good to know 💡: Due on controls when the work surfaces in My Tasks. Use Mark as urgent when it needs attention before that date.
