# Patient Profile Overview ## Overview The Patient Profile Overview panel provides a quick-reference summary of the most important information about a patient. It is designed for care team members who need to orient themselves quickly before an encounter or task. ## What the Overview Shows The patient profile overview typically includes: * **Patient name and photo** (if uploaded) * **Date of birth and age** * **Contact information** – primary phone and email * **Care team** – the assigned care team members for this patient * **Program enrollment** – current programs and phases * **Upcoming encounters** – next scheduled visit or call * **Outstanding tasks** – tasks assigned to the care team for this patient * **Recent activity** – last communication, last completed assessment, or last encounter ## Customizing the Overview The fields displayed in the patient overview are configured in Designer using custom profile templates. Your organization may show additional fields such as insurance information, referring provider, or custom patient attributes. Contact your Welkin administrator or Designer user if you need additional fields added to the overview panel. ## Related Pages * [Patient Profile](/care/patients/patient-profile.md) – full patient profile documentation * [Editing Patient Information](/care/patients/editing-patient-information.md) – how to update patient data * [Patient Programs and Phases](/care/patients/care-programs-and-phases.md) – managing program enrollment {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
