You can create groups of users in TELUS Collaborative Health Record (CHR). For example, you may want a group for only nurses, only staff who handle scheduling, or only certain care providers. One person can be in multiple groups.

You can then send inbox messages to everyone in a group at the same time, search availability for all providers in a group, or filter inboxes and schedules by group.
