What determines the criteria for the All My Patients system list?

The criteria for the All My Patients system list is determined by the patient's admitting or attending provider. This means that the system organizes and presents patient information primarily based on who is responsible for the patient's care. The attending provider plays a crucial role in the management of individual cases, which makes their designation vital for creating a comprehensive patient list.

In this context, focusing on the admitting or attending provider ensures that healthcare professionals can quickly access the patients they are directly responsible for, facilitating better coordination and continuity of care. Without this designation, it would be challenging to maintain an organized and efficient workflow, particularly in busy clinical environments.

Other options present relevant aspects of patient management but do not encompass the primary criteria for system organization. For instance, the last appointment date or insurance provider may provide useful context but do not define the overarching structure of the patient list in the same way that the admitting or attending provider does. Similarly, the facility’s capacity for treatment is more about operational logistics and does not directly influence how patients are classified or listed in the system.
