How do I create a new PA?

Video Demo: How to Enter Demographics Onto an Admission

To created a new Pre-Admission form for a patient, whether the patient is new to the hospital or has visited before, cick on the New Admission button.

A blank PA Screen will load.

From this screen, you can either find an existing patient, or start adding in the information needed to make a new patient.  

How do I add a patient?

Click on the plus sign on the Patient Card to begin adding a new patient or finding an existing one.

The Find/Add Patient window will load.  This screen lets you look up any existing patients, or add a new one by entering in the patient information and clicking Save.

For example, to find a patient named Smokey whose owner's last name is Atsume, you can enter in those two pieces of information.  Any matches will be picked up and display to the right of the form, under Search Results.

Double click on the matching patient.  You will need to verify that the rest of the information is correct - VetView will try to help you find the correct match, but if it's a common patient name and a common last name, you may need to enter the client's address or phone number to get the precise match.

Once you have double clicked or entered the minimum information and clicked Save, the PA Screen will return with the Patient Card filled out.
