Add/Edit Patient Dashboard Item Screen: Navigation and Use

Why Use This Function:

The Patient Dashboard provides a clear overview of the Patient’s details and their clinical history, from their first visit to their most recent interactions with the Practice. It brings key information together in one place, allowing Practitioners to quickly review past clinical data, recent bookings, account details, and important notes without navigating multiple screens.

Customising the Widgets or Items on the Dashboard ensures that the most relevant information is displayed according to the Practice’s workflow, supporting faster decision-making and improving the overall efficiency of Patient management.
