About patient lists

smartlists, smart lists

A patient list is a list of patients who match a set of criteria. Nervecentre automatically updates a patient list when a patient matches or no longer matches the criteria.

For example, you have a patient list called 'Ward 19' that includes all the patients in ward 19.

  • If a patient is moved from ward 19 to another ward, Nervecentre removes the patient from the patient list

  • If a patient is moved to ward 19, Nervecentre adds the patient to the patient list

You can view patient lists on a mobile or desktop.

About patient lists on a mobile

On a mobile, you can:

  • View patient lists

  • Set a patient list as your personal patient list

    You can remove patients on your patient list. You receive tasks and alerts for patients on your patient list.

Depending on your permissions, you can manually add patients who don’t match the criteria to a patient list. For example, your organisation might have a patient list for CCOT Critical Care Outreach Team., and allow clinicians in CCOT to manually add patients to this list. Manually-added patients remain on this patient list until a clinician removes them.

About patient lists on a desktop

On a desktop, you can view patient list dashboards. A patient list dashboard is the combination of a patient list and a clinical note profile.

Depending on your permissions, you can manually add patients who don’t match the criteria to a patient list. For example, your organisation might have a patient list for CCOT Critical Care Outreach Team., and allow clinicians in CCOT to manually add patients to this list. Manually-added patients remain on this patient list until a clinician removes them.

You can create, group, and edit patient lists if you have the correct permissions.
