What does "Patient status" mean?

Patient status shows exactly where a patient currently is in their care journey. It helps your team quickly understand a patient's position, such as whether they are newly created or actively being treated.

Patient statuses are fully customisable and form part of your organisation's workflow. They are used across the system to support day to day work, automation and reporting.

Why patient status matters:

• Clear visibility - Instantly see where each patient is in their journey.
• Consistent processes - Encourage your team to follow the same stages of care.
• Automation - Status changes can trigger outcomes. (Task, emails, follow-ups coming soon)
• Reporting - Patient status data feeds directly into reporting, helping you understand patient flow and performance.
