Creating a task

You can also use collaborations to create, discuss, and track tasks. A task is just like a regular collaboration but it includes a due date and different status options in order to track in-progress and completed work.

A task can be sent to another provider and linked to a patient record for reference.

1. From Provider > Collaborations select + New Collaboration
   
   
   
   or
   
   From a Tasks panel select  and then New Task
   
   
   
2. Confirm the Type field is set to Task
3. Optional: Link a patient to the task by searching and selecting their name from the Patient field
4. Enter a Due Date for the task

5. Search and select a name from the Add Collaborator field to send this task to someone
