Re-Registration

If a patient has been registered to your practice in the past and they currently have a registration status of Transferred out you can re-register the patient. They may have:

• Previously transferred out and now want to return to your practice permanently, or as a temporary resident,
• Been a short stay temporary resident, but they now want to change to a long stay, see Editing a Temporary Resident's Length of Stay for further details
• Had another registration status, for example an expired temporary resident.

To re-register a patient:

1. From the Vision 3 front screen, select Registration .
2. Select the patient required, remember to remove the tick from Active Patients Only on the Patient Select screen so all patients list.
   Note - If the patient is not found on the patient list, then you can add them as usual without re-registering.
3. The 'This patient is no longer active - do you wish to continue?' message may display, select Yes to continue.
