How to assign a patient request to someone else

You can explicitly assign patient requests that are submitted through Anima to different members of your organisation. 

There are two places that you can assign patient requests from: directly from your dashboard, or from the dedicated quick assign page.

This method is most appropriate for when you only want to assign one or two patient requests.


From your Anima dashboard, for the patient request that you want to assign, click the Assign icon in the relevant request's row:
