How to Find/Add Patient in Admissions?

Introduction:

Admitting a patient is a crucial step in the healthcare process that involves the formal entry of an individual into a hospital or healthcare facility for inpatient care. The Admissions module plays a pivotal role in this process, facilitating the smooth transition of a patient's first contact through to discharge.

To Access the admissions module - Navigate to the Menu Bar at the left side of the screen.

Add Patient -

The first step in admitting a patient involves capturing essential demographic information, such as name, age, address, contact details, and insurance information. This step ensures accurate identification and establishes a foundation for the patient's record. You need to have added a patient before you can admit them under Admissions.
