Task Groups

See video overview (opens in a new tab) of task groups and how to add a task group

Definition and Purpose of Task Groups

• Task groups are pseudo provider staff accounts that can be enabled to share a task box among multiple individuals.
• Task groups in Carbon EHR allow for efficient task assignment based on shifts or roles at specific locations.
• By utilizing task groups, tasks can be managed effectively without the need to assign them to individual providers.

Setting Up Task Groups

• Navigate to Settings, then Staff, search for the Pseudo Provider
• Toggle on (green) the setting "Is this account a pseudo provider?" to display the pseudo provider in the task groups section.
• Toggle off this setting if you do not want the staff account or pseudo provider to be displayed as a task group.

Creating Tasks

• Three ways to create tasks: from the tasks tab, within a patient's chart, or from messages.

• Patient selection varies based on where the task is created (tasks tab, patient chart, or messages).
