When should a SmartGroup be retired?

Retiring a SmartGroup is appropriate when it is no longer necessary for operational needs or clinical workflows. SmartGroups serve the purpose of organizing and displaying related data efficiently for users, and if a SmartGroup fails to fulfill its intended purpose, it may lead to confusion or inefficiencies within the system.

Additionally, if a SmartGroup is outdated or superseded by new workflows or methodologies, its presence could hinder the optimization of processes. Retiring unnecessary SmartGroups contributes to maintaining a clean and functional environment, ensuring that users only engage with relevant and effective tools during their tasks. This decision keeps the system streamlined and user-friendly, enhancing the overall productivity of staff within the EpicCare framework.
