There are several ways to do this, but the most common method is during the appointment booking process.
Once you have navigated to the date & time for the appointment, right click & select Make an Appointment
This will open up the Patient Lookup box where you are able to search for the desired patient
If you are unable to locate the patient click the Create New Patient button
You are required to add a minimum of First & Last Name and all other fields are optional when initially adding a patient (but be aware that certain fields may be required, once the patient is admitted, for reporting purposes)
Once all desired information is entered click Save
The appointment screen will then open to add all required information for that particular booking
Patients are also able to be added without having an appointment scheduled.
Select the Patients tab from the left main menu
Search to see if the patient is already entered into the system
If they have not previously been added, click Create Patient
You are required to add a minimum of First & Last Name and all other fields are optional when initially adding a patient (but be aware that certain fields may be required, once the patient is admitted, for reporting purposes)
Once all desired information is entered click Save
