Saved Searches

Lists that you have created and saved will show in the Saved Searches section of the Patient Finder dashboard.

You can delete these by hovering over the list and then clicking on the trash can button, or edit them by clicking on the list.

Note: Patient Finder lists will automatically update as changes are made in your Practice Management Software. These updates will occur every 24 hours when we sync with your Practice Management Software. If a patient no longer matches the criteria set through the filters, they will be removed from the list. This will also identify patients that match the criteria and populate them on the list if they did not previously.
