Entering Patient Information

Entering Patient Information Manually

Patient information should be entered for each new patient from whom readings
are taken. Use the following procedure to enter the information if you do not use
a barcode reader or if you want to modify or add to the patient data entered with
a barcode reader.
CAUTION:
ACCURATE PATIENT INFORMATION — Patient information may be retained from a
previous patient. Be sure to check the patient information screen for each new
patient. Data assigned to the wrong patient causes erroneous patient information
that can affect diagnosis and treatment of the patient(s).
Make sure that you enter patient information for the correct patient.
1. Open the Enter Patient Data window.
NOTE:
2. Enter the necessary patient information or press F1 Patient List to select a
patient from a list of patients.
