Video Tutorial
The Worklist tab displays a list of patients added manually using the Worklist feature. A Worklist is useful if you want to create your own patient list. This eliminates the need to always search for a patient each time you want to access their record.
Adding a Patient to your Worklist from Patient Search Results or Census Lists
There are a couple ways to can add a patient to your Worklist. You can add a patient to your Worklist from your list of patient search results or from a Census list.
To add a patient to your Worklist:
1. Perform a Single or Advanced Search, or access one of your Census lists.
2. The Add Patient Icon appears in the last column of all patient search results or census lists. Click the Add Patient icon.
Make sure you scroll your patient list as far to the right as possible if you are having trouble seeing the Add Patient icon.
3. If you are not the provider of record for the patient you’re trying to add, you will receive an override message first before you can add the patient to your Worklist. See the Provider of Record Override page to learn more about patient overrides.
4. From the Worklist Confirm window, select one of the three options to set how long the patient will remain on your Worklist then click the OK button.
Options include:
Only when I remove them – The patient remains on your Worklist until you manually remove them from the Worklist.
At Discharge – The patient remains on your Worklist until they are discharged.
X Days after Discharge – You stipulate the number of days the patient remains on your Worklist after they are discharged.
Adding a Patient to your Worklist from the Patient’s Record

2. From the Worklist Confirm window, select one of the three options to set how long the patient will remain on your Worklist as described previously, then click the OK button.
