Questionnaire Response

Definition

The care team lists the staff who look after a patient during one encounter. Each entry names a staff member and the clinical role that person holds on that encounter. Care keeps the team as a list on the encounter. Care does not keep the team as a separate record with its own identifier, status, or time period. The list matches the participant part of the FHIR R5 Encounter resource. It does not match the standalone FHIR CareTeam resource.

Key Attributes

Components	What it captures
Staff member	The person who looks after the patient during the encounter.
Role	The clinical role that the staff member holds on the encounter.
Primary member	The one member who leads the care of the patient.

Role

Care takes the roles from a clinical terminology set. The list of roles that you can choose differs between deployments.

📝 Note

The roles available to you depend on your deployment's configuration.

Primary member

Care marks one member of the list as Primary. Care always treats the first person in the list as the primary member. To change the primary member, move a different person to the top of the list.

How Care saves the team

Care saves the whole team together as one list each time the team changes. Every change replaces the complete list. There is no separate action to add one member or to remove one member.

Use in encounter lists

Care lets you filter the encounters of a patient by care team member. Keep the team correct, so that these filters show the right encounters.

Permissions

Permission	Who holds it	What it allows
Update Encounter non clinical	Administrator, Doctor, Nurse, Facility Administrator	Add members, remove members, and reorder members.

A user who can open the encounter but cannot change it sees the same list in read-only form.

Where to find it

Open an encounter. Select Encounter Actions, then select Manage Care Team. You can also select Manage Care Team on the side panel of the Overview tab.
