Accessing Patient Data

The following standard terms are used to describe the display of patient data in CV:

Patient Portal. The page that displays patient data via widgets.
Widget. A component of the CV interface that enables a user to perform a function or access a service.
Widget tray. The expandable and collapsible tray at the bottom of both patient and provider portal pages that provides access to all widgets available for placement on the portal pages.

CCPs view patient data in the Patient Portal. To access the Patient Portal:

1. After a CCP user logs in, the Assigned Patients widget will appear. If the widget is not displayed, see Adding Widgets to the Portal.

A list of patients assigned to the CCP will appear under the My Assigned Patients tab. Patients assigned to the Provider Group the CCP is associated are viewed from the Group Assigned Patients tab.

2. Click a hyperlinked element associated with a patient in the Assigned Patients widget to open the Patient Portal.

A sample display of patient records is shown below. VA Staff set a date filter to control the records seen by the CCP.

When accessing the Patient Portal for the first time, the default layout will include the Pain Management widget positioned to the right of the Demographics widget. The portal will also include the following additional tabs and widget configurations to enable you to quickly locate the medical information needed.
