Clearly identifying the Most Responsible Provider (MRP) ensures:
Clear clinical leadership
Safer, more coordinated care
Better communication across providers
Accountability when care is shared or transferred
Since roles can shift frequently, Careteam makes it easy to update the MRP for each Action Plan—whether temporarily or permanently.
Go to the People tab
Select the patient and open the relevant Action Plan
Click the Team page
Look under the Health Team section
🎯 Assign the Most Responsible Provider
Click on the Health Team member you want to assign as MRP
Click Assign as Most Responsible Provider
Click Confirm
🔁 Reassign the MRP

🌐 Assign an MRP across organizations
You can also assign a provider from another organization as the MRP.
They’ll be notified and asked to confirm
You’ll see a status like “Not yet confirmed by [provider]” so you’re always informed
The MRP can change per Action Plan
The assignment will appear to all team members in that plan
If you assign someone else as MRP, they must confirm the role

The MRP feature ensures everyone knows who’s in the lead—so care stays safe, coordinated, and responsive.
