Registration
Your patient register is maintained in Registration. Initially, the database is created from either converted data from a previous medical system, or from a downloaded provided by your Trading Partner (TP) electronically.
New patients can be added and amendments made to the details of existing patients, such as name, date of birth, address and registered GP. An active Registrationstatus implies permanent and applied (registration applied for) patients, but can also include others, for example Temporary or Emergency treatment patients.
If there is an electronic link between the practice and the HA, details of permanent active patients added or changed in Registration can be relayed to the separate Registration Links module. From there the information is transmitted to the HA electronically, and waiting messages for the practice picked up.
Within Registration, there are bulk patient transfer functions to cater for doctors retiring or dying, sharing patients amongst existing partners, downloading patients in from another practice, or deducting patients en masse.
