Requirements: AS.1.6 Provider Caseload/Panel (Function)

Page standards status: Informative
Statement N:

Provide access to a provider's caseload or panel information.

 Description I:

An organization might employ the concept of caseload or panel of patients to facilitate continuity of care and distribution of work. A caregiver may have, or be accountable for, one or more defined caseloads or panels of members/patient/clients within the organization. Information about a caseload or panel may include an indication that an opening is available on a certain caseload or an indication that a certain patient is not suitable for that caseload. A member/patient may be provided access to a listing of caregivers with open caseloads or panels to select a provider. Example: Examples of caseload or panel assignments:

  • A wound care nurse is assigned certain patients based upon their care needs. A list of those patients can be produced to assist the wound care nurse in delivering care.
  • A provider with an open caseload can be assigned additional patients.
