What differentiates Patient Source from Filters in System List properties?

Patient Source is designed to specify the locations or categories of patients within a system, such as inpatient, outpatient, or specific care areas. This designation helps in organizing and accessing patient records based on where the patients are located within the healthcare system. On the other hand, Filters provide a breadth of options to sort and refine data according to various criteria, such as demographics, encounter types, or status, enabling users to customize their data views.

The distinction lies in the function they serve; while Patient Source identifies and categorizes patients based on specific locations, Filters are intended for broader application, allowing users to apply a variety of conditions to narrow down the dataset. This framework supports effective patient management and enhances usability for clinicians accessing patient information.
