When you search for the person you want to add, check both the internal and the external tabs in the middle of the page. The name you want can be on a tab that you’re not currently viewing. If the person doesn’t appear in the results, then you can add a person by creating an external member. If you get an error when you try to create an external user, ask your Salesforce admin to configure Experience settings. They must enable the use of standard external profiles for self-registration and user creation before you can create external users here. Members without access to the Experience site can’t use Chatter to collaborate around the patient’s care team.

1. Go to the All Care Plans subtab.
2. Expand your care plan and go to the Care Team tab.
3. Click the **Actions** button and select **Add Care Team Member**.
4. In the popup window, you can either search for an existing user, or create a user to add to your care team. Don’t forget to assign the care team role for this user.
5. Click **Add**.
6. Repeat steps three to five to add your entire care team.
