Patient Section
First Name Identifies the patient’s first name.

Last Name Identifies the patient’s last name.
NOTE: Emergency Exams automatically fill this field with a system-generated 
identification, which is the word “NEW” followed by a date and time stamp of 
the second the Emergency Exam button was pressed. For example: 
NEW050622140345. The exam was initiated in year 05, month 06, day 22, hour 
14, minute 03, and second 45.
Location Identifies the patient’s location. The HIS or RIS usually completes this field.
ID Identifies the patient’s medical record number or any number that distinguishes the 
patient. This number must be unique.
Gender Defines the sex of the patient. By default, “Other” is selected when the screen first 
opens.

If the date is not entered in the correct format, the screen will show the date field in 
red when [START EXAM] or [SAVE] is pressed.
