Using the Patient Chart > Adding a Patient > Adding Patient Information
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:
Exit
The Exit option from the File menu closes the Patient Add window and returns you to the OrthoTrac Patient Lookup window.
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
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.
