Why This Matters?
Adding or editing items on the Patient Dashboard lets you customise the information displayed to suit your workflow. You can choose the widgets and information that are most relevant to your workflow, keeping the Dashboard focused on what you need. Customising the Dashboard makes important patient information easier to find and gives you a more practical view of the information you use regularly. This helps save time, reduces unnecessary searching, and supports a more efficient clinical workflow.
