Accessing the New Patient File
There are four ways to access the new patient file.
From the Patient menu Add New Patient
Right click on the appointment book, choose Add New Patient
Click on an empty time slot on the appointment book, click Add New Patient
Press the F6 key when on the appointment book, click New Patient
Each of the four ways to add a new patient takes you to a new window with a blank patient record file. Across
the top of this window you will see the heading ‘Patient Information Adding a NEW Patient (Patient Number
not yet assigned)’.
The Contact tab
The Contact tab contains basic information about the patient. You must enter the First and Last name of the
patient to save the file. The patient number is automatically assigned upon saving using the Next Available
Patient Number found under the Setup menu, Doctor Defaults.
If the patient to be added is related to a patient already in your database and they have the same address you
can use the Copy From Existing button to copy basic demographic information into the new file.
