After selecting the Manager(s) you would like to assign, click Add Chosen Managers.
The manager(s) will now appear in the Managers column for the chosen patient.
This process can be repeated for each patient and for each manager that you want to assign. If you have many patients managed by the same manager, you will prefer to use the next method, assigning Managers to more than one patient at a time.
Assign a Patient Manager to more than one patient at a time
On the Dashboards under Patient Management, select Managers.
Select the Bulk Edit tool in the top bar, next to the gear icon.
Select the patients to which you are assigning managers by clicking the + under Patients.
Then, select the Managers you are assigning to these patients by clicking the + under Managers.
Select the permissions you would like to assign to these managers for these patients from the permissions drop-down menu near the top of the box.
Click Confirm to accept the changes you've made.
If your managers require different permission sets, you will need to add them separately to groups of patients.
Removing a Direct Patient Manager
To remove a Direct Patient Manager, on the Managers page, select the patient's name. Find the name of the Patient Manager that is to be deleted. Click the X icon to the right of the Patient Manager's name.
A confirmation window will open. Click OK to remove the selected manager or click Cancel to return to the Manager page.
Creating and Using Permission Presets
If you have many managers and many patients, setting individual permissions can be very time-consuming. Use the bulk editing tools to make permissions setting easier.
From the Dashboards, under Patient Management, click Managers. Then, in the top right corner of this screen, click the gear icon to open the Default Permissions and Preset Permissions screen.
At the top, you will see Default Permissions and Presets Permissions tabs.
Select all the permissions that you want as a base or default for your managers, or create a preset of select permissions that you want to use for a select set of managers. Once you've set the permissions, click Save.
Now that your default or preset permissions are configured, you can apply them in bulk through the following actions:
Select the bulk edit tool, at the top right of the Managers page in the Dashboards.
This tool can be used to add or update managers for patients, using the default or preset permissions. Add your available patients by clicking the + button under Patients. Then add your managers to the Managers list.
You can then assign the permissions by selecting either the default permissions that you've set or any of the presets that you've created.
Once you have your patients, your managers, and your permissions selected, click Confirm to set the managers and permissions for the patients.
