Address for New Patients

Previously, when registering a patient which has been found on the PDS system, the address from PDS was automatically placed in the Main Address details of the Vision 3 Registration screen. From DLM 290, on clicking OK in the Registration - Personal Details screen in the registration process, a New Registration PDS Address Confirmation screen is shown. You are given the option to select which category the address belongs, choosing from:

  • Main Address
  • Previous Registered Address
  • Permanent Registered Address for Temporary Resident
  • Business
  • Other
    Note - You can select Close to bypass this screen and add the details manually.

Main Address

If you choose that the address on PDS should be recorded as Main Address in Vision 3, the address is saved to Main Address.

Previous Registered Address

If you select Previous Registered Address for the address stored on PDS and the patient has no other address entries held in Vision 3, you have to manually add the patients Main Address details.

If the patient has registered at your practice before or has family or contact address details on Vision 3, these details are used as the Main Address details and the address on PDS is stored as the Previous Registered Address in Vision 3. This can of course be edited at any time.

Permanent Registered Address for Temporary Resident

If you select Permanent Registered Address for Temporary Resident for a patient with no existing family or contact selected, you need to add the temporary address to the main address screen manually.

If you select Permanent Registered Address for Temporary Resident for a patient with existing family or contact selected, Vision 3 adds the temporary address to the main address details and the Permanent address from PDS to Permanent Registered Address for Temporary Residents.

Business/Other Address

If you choose that the address on PDS should be recorded as business or other in Vision 3, then you must enter the main address manually if the patient has not been identified as part of a family or contact to another patient.
