Resource Centre - Patient Dashboard
Video Tutorial
The Patient Dashboard is the first screen that displays when you access a patient’s record and is a great tool for creating a single location for displaying data you view on a regular basis.
If you are a first-time ClinicalConnect user, the Dashboard will be empty. You will need to populate the dashboard with clinical modules according to your clinical needs. Drag and drop the module icons found in the Patient Dashboard Header to add modules to your dashboard. The Patient Dashboard can also be accessed at any time by clicking the Dashboard: Patient option from the Clinical Modules menu.
The following table provides a summary of some of the key Dashboard features.
