Using the Patient Chart > Adding a Patient > Adding Patient Information

Add Patient Menu

When adding patient information, you can perform some of the same tasks by using the menu at the top of the Patient Add window. The following options are available:

• File

  Exit

  The Exit option from the File menu closes the Patient Add window and returns you to the OrthoTrac Patient Lookup window.

• Options

  The options available from the Options menu enable you to add Responsible Party tabs, clear the current Responsible Party tab, display the Family Tree, and clear the Patient tab.

  • Add Another Responsible Party Page

  • Clear Current Responsible Party Page

  • Show Family Tree

  • Clear Add Screen

• Special

  The options available from the Special menu enable the user to utilize existing data in the software and to link families properly. The Family Member Is A Patient (Link Responsible Parties) option can be especially useful in helping to ensure that a new patient is linked to an existing responsible party, rather than adding a duplicate of that responsible party with a separate set of financial information.

  • Patient Is Self Responsible

  • Family Member Is A Patient (Link Responsible Parties)

  • Add Existing Responsible Party As Patient

  • Add Existing Family As Patient

• Maintenance

  The options available from the Maintenance menu are the same as those found under Maintenance > System Maintenance > Patient Add Options.

  • Patient Add Maintenance

  • Partial Add Maintenance

  • Full Add Maintenance

  • Add Default Maintenance

  • Set To Partial Add

  • Set To Full Add

  • Set All Fields To Tab
