EHR Adding New Patient
From PANACeA THIRRA
ADDING NEW PATIENT
After being satisfied that there is no existing record for the patient in question, the user can add a new record to the database. Clicking the [Add New Patient] link will open a new window.
The form is divided into
- Bio data
- Contact info
- Demise info
Only fields with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory. The same form will appear again if any of the mandatory fields is incomplete.
The birth date of the patient can either exact or an estimate. For estimates, fill in the estimated age, e.g. 23.5 years. THIRRA will save the birth date assuming that the date of creation is the birth day if the estimated age is a round figure.
A list of patients with the same name will also be listed if applicable, to ensure that duplicate records creation is avoided.
The village field in the contact form is mandatory. Selecting one, will fill in the other address details such as state, country, etc. accordingly.
Closing the window without saving, will discard the attempt and no record will be added.
You may continue to add/edit information for the same patient in the Demographic Information form of the Individual Patient Overview Sheet.
