This page describes a Mirah feature that hasn't been deployed for all customers yet. If you don't have access to this feature yet and you're interested in getting it, contact Mirah support.
Overview
Your time logged in Mirah is the primary artifact used to bill payers for your services, which keeps the collaborative care program running. In addition, reviewing how you've spent your time can help guide effective care, for example by checking when you last had contact with a patient or how much of your time you're spending on different tasks. The My Time page is a tool to manage all the time you log across patients and tasks so you can get a better handle on how you're spending your time.
Access My Time from the navigation on the left, just under Panels:

Calendar Navigation
The default view when you open My Time is a calendar with the time you've logged so far this week. Before we look at a whole week though, lets look at a single day so we can see some details more clearly:
The calendar spans 7am to 7pm (if you've logged time earlier or later it'll automatically expand to see all time for this day). You can select which day to view at the top, or use the left and right buttons next to the day selector to go back and forth one day at a time. When you're looking at a week or a month at a time the left and right buttons step a week or a month.
It shows each block of logged time as a rectangle with the time's title, the patient the time was logged for and the start and end time. When there are multiple blocks of time logged at the same time, they're shown stacked next to each other. Note that short time entries, less than about 20 minutes, will be drawn larger than their "real" size so they can fit a line of text. This can cause several consecutive short time entries to look like they overlap even when they don't.
The next thing to look for is the red badge that may appear on some time entries. This indicates a block of time where some of the time isn't getting counted as billable. In the example above, this is because it overlaps with another time block, and Mirah only counts the non-overlapped time as billable. See The Non-billable Time Page article for more details about what makes time not count for billing.
In addition to the red badge, there's a blue badge on time that was logged as including patient contact. Regular patient contact is an important part of collaborative care, so this helps you get a high level view of how much of your time is being spent with patients.
Now lets zoom out to a week:
The week view uses the same basic structure as the day view, but with all seven days stacked up next to each other. Finally, we can zoom out to a month:
A full month doesn't have enough space to show full blocks of time, so this condenses each time entry into a single line, sorted from earliest to latest. The badges become small icons on each row. To keep the page at a manageable size, we only show the first 10 time entries on each day. When there are more, there's a "See more time entries" button at the bottom of the day, which takes you to the single-day view.
Searching and Filtering
The weekly and especially monthly view can be overwhelming with how much data they present, so it can be easier to use the tools on this page to only look at the time you're specifically interested in. Here's an example of searching for an individual patient:
When you search on the calendar view, all the time entries that don't match your search fade into the background, leaving the relevant ones highlighted. In this example we're searching for a patient's name, but you can also search by
The patient's legal or preferred name
The title of the time entry or the task it's linked to
The text of any notes linked to the time entry
This lets you drill down into how you're spending your time in more detail. In addition to searching, you can clicking the "Additional Filters" button to see some more specific ways to highlight your time:
The patient selector lets you pick a specific patient to highlight (helpful when there are patients who share a first or last name so a search is less specific), or highlight time that's patient facing or non-billable. Note that if you use multiple filters (for example, a patient and a search), only time that matches all the selected filters will be highlighted. You can clear your filters at any time with the Clear Filters button.
You can also select another provider to see their time instead of your own. This is most useful for supervisors, but can also come in handy for care managers if you need to cover for someone while they're out or share a patient load.
Filtering on the monthly view works similarly to the daily and weekly view:
Time that matches the search gets highlighted in bold and sorted to the top of each day's box. This includes time that would have been "below the fold" otherwise, due to the 10 visible entries per day limit.
Time Logging
In addition to viewing your time on the calendar, you can also use it to log new time. Clicking on any empty space in any calendar view will open a form to log new time at the time you clicked on (rounded to the nearest 15 minutes). Note that this time is not linked to a specific task, so you'll need to add a patient and title for the time, (normally these are inferred from the linked task).
The form also includes a small calendar showing a preview of the time you're creating. If there are other time entries in the period before and after the time you're entering, they'll appear in this preview as well.
Note that in the monthly view the default start time when you open this form by clicking on the calendar is 8am, since the display for each day doesn't use proportional time. Don't forget to change it to the time you actually want to log!
Edit Time Details
You can also click on any time entry in the calendar to edit them. This opens a similar form to logging new time.
