If a matching patient is found in the database, then a list of patients opens on the search form.

There are 3 ways to choose a patient for the designated appointment time.

1. double click the selected patient
2. clicking once on the selected patient and Press enter.
3. scroll with the down arrow key onto the selected patient and Press enter

An appointment for the patient is then created on the appointment screen.

 

 

If the search does not match any patient in the database, then the system will prompt you to either go ahead and register this patient name as a new patient or create the appointment with a temporary patient name (a patient who is not registered in the system). 

Insert temporary appointment 

You can also create a temporary patient appointment by clicking the “Temp” button in the Patient search screen if the “lastname” entered makes a match with a patient already in the database but is not the one you were looking for.
