Within the system, you can track a patient’s Follow-Up Status to easily identify whether a patient still requires follow-up or if the necessary action has already been completed. Follow-Up Statuses help staff monitor patient communication, outstanding tasks, and case progress, ensuring that no important steps are missed. By updating the follow-up status within a patient’s case, your team can quickly see where the patient stands in the workflow and determine whether additional outreach, documentation, or scheduling is needed.

To create new Follow Up Statuses, you will need to:
1. Navigate to Documentation --> Lists --> Follow Up Status.
