How the Watchlist Works
Customized patient list – You choose which patients to include.
Private view – Only you can see your Watchlist. It doesn’t affect other team members’ lists.
Streamlined format – Displays like the Clinical Tab but only shows the patients you’ve added.
Auto-updating – New vitals, Flags, and notes are pulled in automatically, so your Watchlist is always current.
Each patient row includes:
Patient information (name, room number, identifiers).
Latest vitals from Circadia + PCC.
Recent Flags (escalations and SBAR reports).
Notes or clinical updates.
Where to View the Watchlist
The Watchlist has its own dedicated tab in CIP.
Use it as a quick snapshot during huddles, handoffs, or weekend coverage.
Because it mirrors the Clinical Tab format, there’s no learning curve — just fewer patients to review.
How to Add Patients
You can add patients to your Watchlist in multiple ways:
From a Patient Profile – Open the profile and click Add to Watchlist.
From the Clinical Tab – Find the patient and click the + button next to their name.
From an SBAR Report – In the action bar, select Add to Watchlist.
Directly in the Watchlist Tab – Use the + Add Patient button.
Who to Add to Your Watchlist
The Watchlist works best when focused on your highest-priority patients. Common examples include:
Recently discharged or readmitted patients – Higher risk for early changes in condition.
Frequent fallers or mobility concerns – Monitor closely for safety.
Patients with recent condition changes – Especially those flagged in your Inbox.
High-risk patients identified in the Morning Report.
Duration of Watchlist Placement
Patients remain on your Watchlist for 7 days or until they are discharged.
If you need to monitor a patient longer, you can re-add them after 7 days.
This cycle ensures the Watchlist stays fresh and focused on current priorities.
Why the Watchlist Matters

Improves focus – Keeps your most at-risk patients in one easy-to-review list.
Supports handoffs – Helps incoming staff quickly see who requires the closest monitoring.
Enhances safety – Ensures high-priority patients don’t get lost in the shuffle.
