# Understanding My To-Do List & Patient Tasks

In this article, we'll explain how **My To-Do List** and **Patient Tasks** work, how they connect, and what visibility Team Members have.

👉 **Important:** These tasks are **Team Member-facing only** - although tasks can be associated with patients, **patients do not see these tasks.**

---

### 🗂 What is **My To-Do List**?

The **My To-Do List** is your personal task manager, found on the **Dashboard**. It helps you track everything you need to action, whether it’s patient-related or general admin work.

- ✅ **Examples:**
  
    - “Complete follow-up phone call” for Patient A
    - “Send out program information” for Patient B
    - “Book team meeting” (non-patient related)
- 🧑‍💻 **Who sees it?**
  
    - Only visible to Team Members and Admins.
    - **Patients never see My To-Do List tasks.**
- ➕ **How to add a task:**
  
    - Click **+ New** on the Dashboard.
    - You can choose to link the task to a **specific Patient** or leave it unlinked as a general task.
    - Fields: Task Title, Assignee, Due Date, (Optional) Patient.

---

### 👤 What are **Patient Tasks**?

**Patient Tasks** are tasks that are linked directly to a **specific Patient**. These appear within the Patient’s Profile under the **Overview tab** in the **Patient Tasks** section.

- ✅ **Examples:**
  
    - “Medication review required” for Dani Sunshine.
    - “2-day follow-up call” for a patient post-discharge.
- 🧑‍💻 **Who sees it?**
  
    - Visible to Team Members and Admins in the Patient’s Profile.
    - **Patients do not see these tasks in their App or Portal.**
- ➕ **How to add a task:**
  
    - Navigate to the Patient’s Profile \> Overview \> Patient Tasks.
    - Click **+ New** and fill out the task details (Patient, Title, Assignee, Due Date).

### 🔄 How Do They Connect?

| **Aspect** | **My To-Do List** | **Patient Tasks** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Where it appears** | Dashboard (Global task list) | Patient Profile (Overview tab) |
| **Linked to a Patient?** | Optional — Can be linked to a Patient or left general | Always linked to a Patient |
| **Created via** | Dashboard **+ New** button | Patient Profile **+ New** button |
| **Visibility to Patients** | ❌ Not visible to Patients | ❌ Not visible to Patients |
| **Visibility to Team Members** | ✅ Appears on Dashboard | ✅ Appears in Patient Profile & Dashboard (if assigned to you) |
| **One task or two?** | If linked to a Patient → It will also appear under Patient Tasks | Always a Patient Task and will also show in your To-Do List |

 

---

### 🧩 Key Behaviour Explained:

- **All Patient Tasks are also visible in your My To-Do List.**
- When you create a task via **My To-Do List** and link it to a **Patient**, it will automatically appear in both:
  
    - **Your To-Do List** (Dashboard)
    - **The Patient’s Task list** (Profile Overview tab)
- Tasks created via **My To-Do List** that are **not linked to a Patient** will remain personal/general and will not show up in any Patient Profile.
- Tasks created via **Patient Profile** are always connected to that Patient and will automatically appear in your To-Do List as well.

---

### 💡 Summary

- **My To-Do List** = Personal task list that can include both general and patient-specific tasks.
- **Patient Tasks** = Always linked to a specific Patient.
- Tasks flow **downward from My To-Do List to Patient Tasks** when linked, but **non-patient tasks stay as general To-Do List items**.
- These tasks are **for Team Member visibility only** — **Patients never see them**.
