The Patient Entered Data functionality provides patients with the ability to digitally capture and send information about themselves to their providers.

If there is information that an organization wants to collect from the patient prior to service, patients can receive a notification that they have a task to complete, and then complete it within Personal Community. 

Patients with tasks to complete will see these tasks in their To Do box on the Home page. This box will list any pre-service tasks items such as documents, and any outstanding HealthShare Care Community care plans.  Patients can access their pre-service tasks, or care plans as requested, and submit them back to their care team.

With the combination of Personal Community   and HealthShare Care Community patients can be active participants in their Care Community care plans, including the ability to answer and complete plans sent to them by members of their care team.  Personal Community Care Plans section   integrates with HealthShare Care Community to allow patients to enter data into a care plan. Patients will now have the ability to  be active participants in their Care Community care plans, including the ability to answer and complete plans sent to them by members of their care team.

Personal Community supports pre-service tasks such as allowing external systems to place educational and informational items into a patients To Do box to read prior to upcoming events.

Tasks remain in a read or unread status for a specified amount of time and if not utilized within that specified time will be moved to expired. This will allow a patients To Do box to remain manageable and current. It also gives the organization that furnishes the task an accurate account of whether or not a patient is interacting with materials sent to them.

The tasks are removed from the   To Do   box in the following conditions:

• All task items are completed.
• The due date for the task has passed.
• The date for the event has passed.

When implementing Care Plans you must make decisions regarding the following two options:

• Whether to allow patients to view only 
• Whether to allow patients to contribute to their care plans
