Patient Registry Module
Enhanced and Updated for XP Edition

Module Summary

The Patient Registry contains basic identifying and demographic data about persons who are patients. This information is used by other Visual Practice modules as a patient information library. Provincial and private Insurance eligibility data is also automatically updated and maintained in this portion of Visual Practice, thus, an up to date record of patient data is available at all times. 

New to Visual Practice XP Edition - Chart Label buttons for fast, one button printing of default chart or address labels!  Use printing defaults in User settings to automatically send labels to a printer destination without selecting it!  Copy/Paste Address buttons for fast cutting and pasting of patient addresses into any application.  Identify a head-of-family and Inter-link family members in the Family tab.  Our new advanced search enables you to search for patients by full or partial contents of the first name, last name, date of birth, address, city, province, phone numbers, chart #, card # and alternate search fields!

This module includes a Ontario Health Card Swiper for fast patient creation and updating when using an Ontario Health Card Reader (Screen shown below).

New to Visual Practice XP Edition - Card Reader integration with the Booking/Scheduling system.  Automatically insert walk-in patients into the appointment schedule at any time.  Automatically insert patients into the Day Sheet Billing list for post-appointment billing.  Book a patient for a Billing Provider other than the default Billing Provider, yet maintain the default.  Print a custom encounter form, or a chart label (optionally) at time of patient registration!

New to Visual Practice XP Edition - Alerts, Cautions and Information - classify patients with an unlimited number conditions requiring various levels of attention.  User definable Alerts, Cautions and Information message(s) can automatically appear throughout the program when a patient is selected who has alert, caution or information conditions on file.

New to Visual Practice XP Edition - Produce laser printer based labels for patients and for referring physicians!  This label printing system enables you to restrict label printing to patients belonging to a particular physician, or patients who have been classified using the patient classification system.  Additional criteria include postal code, date of birth, service date range, gender and roster status.  This incredibly flexible label printing system prints to industry standard laser printer labels for inexpensive bulk printing.
