Which patient management task is done last in the process?

The task of ending an assignment is typically the final step in the patient management process. This step signifies that all necessary actions have been completed for the patient's care, and the assignment related to that patient can now be formally concluded. Ending an assignment involves documenting the patient's status, ensuring that all care-related activities have been addressed, and preparing for the transition of care if needed.

In managing patient cases, it’s essential to follow a sequential order—first assigning the physician, then potentially sorting patient names for better organization, managing their care throughout the process, and finally removing them from the active list once all tasks are completed. Ending the assignment signifies that everything has been wrapped up, making it a natural conclusion to the process.
