Viewing Patients in Your Team

Introduction

The Team Patients tab is your digital handover sheet, displaying all patients currently assigned to your team. It provides a comprehensive overview of each patient's status, location, responsible clinician, and outstanding actions, helping you coordinate care and manage workload across your team.

Before You Start

Required Access:

If you lack access, the system will display: "You do not have permission to view the patients of this team."

  1. From the sidebar, click Teams
  2. The Teams accordion expands to show all teams you belong to
  3. Click the name of the team you want to view
  4. The Team view opens with the Patients tab active by default (this is the first tab)

The URL will show /teams/teamId?tabindex=0.

Tips
  • Search is debounced: The search field waits 300ms after you stop typing before updating the table. This prevents excessive API calls while you're still typing.

  • Filters and search work together: You can combine search terms with status filters to narrow down the patient list.

  • The "My Patient" tag helps you prioritise: Quickly identify which patients you're responsible for by looking for the "My Patient" tag in the table.

  • Expand patient details: Click a patient row to expand and view clinical summary, team categories, and quick actions (if toggles are enabled).

  • Risk flags need attention: If you see a risk flag icon, hover over it to read the risk reason. These patients may require additional monitoring.

  • Print reflects your view: When you print a patient list, the PDF includes your current search/filter settings. This is useful for creating focused handover sheets.

  • Overdue action badges are red flags: The red badge on a patient's profile indicates overdue actions that need immediate attention.

  • Status timestamps matter: The time since last status update helps you identify patients who may need review (e.g., "Status last updated 3 days ago").

  • Toggle settings persist: Your "Show Handover Categories" and "Show Actions" preferences are saved to local storage, so they'll remain active when you return to this team.
