What are the advantages of Tasks?

Common uses of Tasks include:

• Simple messages - Practice and personal, eg "Please call Mrs Jones re her mother", "There is a parcel in reception for you".
• Self-Reminders - For example, "Remember to write a referral letter to Mr Smith at Kings re Mrs Jones"
• Allocating, tracking and recording home visits - For example, sending a request to all on call GP's - "Visit Mr Smith", they can accept, action and then complete the task and you are notified when it is done.
• Repeat medication authorisation requests - A quick template message to a responsible clinician to reauthorise medication already linked to the correct patient.
• Stock requests - From the treatment room to whoever orders supplies.
• Staff notices - Meeting notifications, staff notices and social notices.

No, due to the way Tasks has been designed, there is no need to archive your tasks.
