Pending Approvals
The Pending Approvals feature provides a centralized queue for reviewing patient questionnaire submissions that require clinical approval before processing.Overview
When patients complete questionnaires through their carepath, submissions enter the approval queue. Care team members review responses and either approve them or request revisions.Submissions are automatically prioritized based on waiting time to ensure timely review.
