04/21/23 Slide 5

CareManager has two main components - one is accessed within the EHR and one via Web

The CareManager Control Panel and Dashboards are Encounter Forms in the EHR where you can:

View individual patient status

Easily enter data that will flow to the CareManager application

The Web based CareManager application:Allows you to track a single patient or your entire population of patients by disease state

Generally you do NOT make entries directly in the CareManager application. Most data entry is done in the EHR.

If no response contact patient by phone

Advise PCP if no response

Use Cases:Send an individual, personal letter or email to a patient who is due for a particular lab test.
