Introduction
Handover categories display additional clinical information specific to your team's specialty directly in the patient list. This allows you to see important handover details at a glance without opening individual patient records, making ward rounds and handovers more efficient.
Before You Start
- You must be a member of a team that has handover categories configured
- If your team has no categories set up, the toggle option will not appear
- No special permissions are required to view handover categories
Steps
- From the sidebar, select My Teams and click on the team you want to view
- In the top navigation bar, locate and click the tree icon button (this opens the handover controls panel)
- A collapsible panel appears below the button showing two toggle switches
- Locate the Show Handover Categories: label with its accompanying toggle switch
- Click the toggle switch to turn it on (it will change from light gray with an info icon to purple with an eye icon)
- The patient table automatically reloads and expands to show additional information below each patient row
- For each patient, you'll now see:
- A Clinical summary section displaying the patient's current clinical summary
- A grid of handover categories specific to your team (labeled as "{Team Name} Handover Information")
- Individual category fields with their names and values
- To hide the handover categories, click the toggle switch again to turn it off
The patient table will return to its compact view, showing only basic patient information.
Tips
- Your preference is saved: The toggle state persists in your browser, so when you return to this team, your choice will be remembered
- Multiple categories: If a category has multiple entries, they'll appear in a carousel that you can navigate through
- Empty categories: Categories without data will show a dash ("-") for text fields or an empty form for structured data
- Show Actions toggle: The same panel includes a Show Actions toggle that displays patient actions. You can enable both toggles simultaneously to see handover categories and actions together
- Mobile responsive: On mobile and tablet devices, the grid adjusts to show fewer columns for easier viewing
- Active indicator: When handover categories or actions are visible, the tree icon button in the top bar will appear highlighted
