# Patients

## Overview

The Patients section is the central hub for managing your patient population in Welkin. From here you can search for patients, view your panel, create new patient records, and take bulk actions.

## Accessing the Patients Section

Click **Patients** in the left navigation bar of the Care Portal. By default, you will see the **My Patients** view — the list of patients assigned to you or your care team.

## Patient List Views

* **My Patients** — patients currently assigned to you
* **All Patients** — your full patient population (access may be restricted by your role)
* **By Program** — filter patients enrolled in a specific care program
* **By Phase** — filter patients by their current phase within a program

## Searching for Patients

Use the search bar in the upper right of the patient list to find patients. You can also use the filter dropdowns at the top to narrow results by:

* Date of birth
* Program
* Phase
* Region
* Territory
* Timezone
* Care member

Note: the search bar will only return results within the currently applied filters.

## Creating a New Patient

To add a new patient record, see [My Patients: Create and Search](/care/patients/patient-creation-and-search.md).

## Bulk Actions

Select multiple patients using the checkboxes to perform bulk actions such as:

* Update timezone
* Add cadences
* Update service areas
* Assign or reassign care team members

For details on bulk operations, see [My Patients and Bulk Edits/Actions](/care/patients/care-my-patients-and-bulk-edits-actions.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.welkinhealth.com/care/patients/patients.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
