Auxiliary List: Patient List

If you have created a link between your registration system (or a Tracking System) and the Exit-Writer program, this screen will display all patients registered but not yet discharged. (See Appendix for details on this link.)

Click on the New Patient button of the Custom Screen to open this list. The New Patient button will only be visible if you have turned this feature on in the File Menu | Settings | General Tab screen.

Selecting a patient from this list will add the identifying data to the Custom Screen and remove this patient from the Patient List Screen.

List Search

Once the list is open, you may search by any of the fields (Patient, Attending MD, Referral, Arrival Time, File Time). To search, left-click on the button above the column that you wish to search. Then, type in the first few letters of the search. Use the arrow keys or mouse to refine the selection. Notice that clicking on a column button causes all entries to be sorted according to the items in that column.

OK

Hitting the OK button will cause the currently highlighted patient to be imported to the Custom Screen.

Delete

You can manually delete a patient from this list. This is useful if there has been redundant entry of a patient, or when patients are admitted and therefore not discharged from the facility.

Import

While the Polling Interval in the File Setting: General Tab allows you to determine how often Exit-Writer will check the receiving directory for new patients registered, you may use the Import button to force a manual import of any patients registered since the last automatic polling event.
