- 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)
