Import a Patient Account
The Import Patient Account feature is used in facilities that have separate Vector Elite systems (e.g.
inpatient/outpatient facilities). This feature is not used for a multi-trolley configured system.
To import a patient account:
1. From the Manage Patient Records screen, press the Import Patient button. See Figure 11-3.
2. An Open File window will appear. Select the desired patient file and press the Open button.
3. The importing window will appear. The patient information and all training data is imported into the
system and incorporated into the Known Patients list.
4. Press the check (√) button when the importing window states "Complete".
Patient Import Conflict
If the patient ID already exists within the Vector Elite system, you will see a Patient Import Conflicts error
message.
Existing Patient:
1. If the patient already exists in the Vector Elite system, press the Same Patient button on the
Patient Import Conflicts screen.
2. The program automatically imports the data if imported data is newer than existing data
Different Patient:
1. If the importing patient has a Patient ID matching that of an existing patient, but is not the same
patient, press the Different Patient button on the Patient Import Conflicts Screen.
2. A new window will ask if the patient data should be imported under a new Patient ID.
3. Press the check (√) button to confirm that the patient should be imported into the system with a
new, automatically created patient ID.
Export a Patient Account
To export a patient account:
1. From the Manage Patient Records screen, press the Export Patient button. See Figure 11-3.
2. A Save As window will appear. Navigate to the desired location, edit the file name, and press the
Save button.
3. The exporting window will appear. The patient information and training data will be saved in a file
in the selected location.
4. Press the check (√) button when the exporting window states "Complete".
Note: There is no effect on the patient account, training data, or ability to train on the current Vector Elite
system if a patient is exported. The export file is a copy.
5. To return to the Admin Menu screen, press the Back button. See Figure 11-3.
