    The profile displays the patient's identifying details at the top.

    If the patient has current (Open or Pending) episodes, a QOTP flag is displayed.

    If the patient has previously been associated with episodes that are now Closed, an Ex-QOTP flag is displayed.

    More information is available in the Approvals and QOTP Episodes accordion of the patient's profile.

    If the patient has a linked Medication History, select Medications. From the Medication History, select Patient Profile to return to the patient profile. See View Medication History
