Entering Patient Demographics
When the system displays the Data Entry screen, enter the demographic
information as required. When you select the button for a demographic, an
alphanumeric keyboard displays. When you select the field for a demographic, a
numeric keypad displays.
NOTE: Select Clear to delete the data in the field or Clear All to delete the data in
all the fields.
NOTE: You can restrict entry of the patient ID so only a barcode scanner can be
used to enter the patient ID. This minimizes errors that can occur if the patient ID
is entered manually. Refer to Selecting the Barcode Only Option for Patient ID
Entry‚ page 8-25.
NOTE: You can deactivate the Patient List button so it is unavailable to select
patients at data entry screens. This eliminates the possibility of accidentally
selecting an incorrect patient from the patient list. To deactivate the patient list
button, at the Status screen select
Secured Option > Analysis Options, and
deselect the Patient List button. The Patient List button is on by default.
