What is a “patient panel” and why is it required?

A panel is a list of your organization’s active patients (typically from the past 18 months) that establishes the patient relationship needed for Event Notification System notifications.
Required fields include:

  • Patient ID
  • First & Last Name
  • Address, City, State, ZIP
  • Date of Birth
  • Gender

*If a user searches outside their panel, an attestation warning will appear.
