box (Clinic Appointments, Ward, Personal/Team,
Specialty, Provider, Registry) correspond to different
patient lists.
Select
the tab for the patient list(s) you want to add (graphic).

are likely to be more coherent if you carefully consider your list selections.

range you specify tells the Clinician Dashboard to display patients who

range. In the example below, patients who had appointments in the Cardiology
clinic in the past month will be displayed on the Clinician Dashboard (graphic).

to the Selected List pane. (The double arrow is available for the
Ward, Personal/Team, Specialty, and Registry Tabs.)
Repeat steps 4-6 if there
are additional patient lists you would like to add.
