Patient Demographics

There’s a new look and feel to adding patients to your Practice Management System. The new and improved version of Patient Add and Patient Quick Add is configurable by Practice Management.

Let’s go out with old, and in with the new…

First, let’s take a snapshot of the Old Patient Add/Edit so that we can clearly see the difference between the old and new.

Old Patient Add Screens: You are presented with three tabs: Demographics, Billing, and Messaging. You select “Next Page” to go to the next set of questions as illustrated below, and you have to contact your Support Team to customize some of the settings in Patient Add.

Demographics (Page 1)

Billing Questions (Page 2)

Messaging (Page 3)

In with the new… Take a look at the new Patient Add/Edit input screens. There are no “Next Page” or “Previous Page” buttons to select. You get a continuous flow with scrolling up and down the page. You can use the Demographics, Billing and Message buttons at the top to skip down to a particular section. An added bonus is that your practice has the ability to select the required input in the “Configure” section for both the Patient Add and Patient Quick Add input screens (management level access is required).

Configure your own required fields in Patient Demographics. As a Practice Manager, you will know the information that your staff is required to input for a Full Patient Add and for a Quick Add. Just select the green “Configure” button at the top right of either the Patient Add or Quick Add. Just remember that when you edit the Configuration settings, you will change how patient information is input for all patients that you add into your database.

You will see eight tabs: Name/Address info, Demographics Info, Contact Info, Employment Info, Billing info, Other Info, HIPAA Info, and Messaging. Review each tab for the available configuration settings. Under the Name/Address Info, you can start using a brand new feature that gives you the option to enable Patient Duplicate Checking.

Responsible Party/Guarantor

For practices, such as Pediatrics, that utilize assigning patients to a particular responsible party or guarantor, a new feature has been added to assist the Front Desk in editing addresses of other patients linked to the same guarantor without going to each individual account. Once you edit a patient's address that is linked to a Guarantor Account, and select Save, you will see a Confirm Address Change" pop-up. All dependents that are linked by a Guarantor will appear and are selected as illustrated below. Select "Yes", if you want to update all. Remove If you don't wish to update any of the patients in the list, select "No".
