You can view basic demographic and visit information for patients in the Patient Details module. The available information is similar to what is found on a cover sheet in the patient’s chart. In the Patient Details module, you can also make changes to the patient or visit information, as well as create new visits.

​
Editing Patient Information

If the patient demographic information displayed in the Patient Details module is incorrect, you can make changes to it (as long as this ability is enabled in your user profile).
  1. From the Patient Details screen, tap More > Edit. The Edit Patient screen opens. The Patient fields are shown at the top section of the screen, with the Visits fields for the currently selected visit shown below.
  2. Make changes to any of the Patient fields as necessary. You may also edit any of the Visits fields for the currently selected visit, if desired.
  3. Tap SAVE to save your changes.

​
Editing Visit Information

The main screen of the Patient Details module displays information about the patient’s currently selected visit (the one that you selected on the Patient List prior to accessing the Patient Details module). If you want to see a list of all of the patient’s visits, you can easily do so. Once the visits are displayed, if you find that any of the visit information is incorrect, you can make changes to it (as long as this ability is enabled in your user profile).
  1. From the Patient Details module, tap VISITS at the top right of the screen. The Visits screen is displayed and shows a list of all of the patient’s visits. The currently selected visit displays under the Selected Visit section and any other visits are displayed under the Other Visits section. If a visit is on the current patient list, it shows a blue checkmark in the left column.
  2. Select a visit from either section. The Visit Details screen is displayed, and shows the detail information for the visit that you chose.
  3. Tap EDIT at the top right of the screen. The Edit Patient screen opens. The Patient fields are shown at the top of the screen, with the Visit fields for the selected visit shown below.
  4. Make changes to any of the Visit fields for the selected visit as necessary. You may also edit any of the Patient fields if desired.
  5. Tap SAVE to save your changes.

Manually Creating a New Visit

While reviewing a patient’s visit information in the Patient Details module, you may find that the visit you need (to enter charges against) is not yet registered for the patient. You can quickly create a new visit in the Patient Details module, as long this feature is enabled in your user profile.
You can also manually create a new visit from the Patient List module (see Manually Creating a New Visit for an Existing Patient). It does not matter which option you use; the end result is the same. Simply choose the option that is most convenient in your workflow.
You can manually create a new visit for any of the patient types listed below. The new visit takes on the same status as the patient (authenticated, verified, or non-verified):
  • An authenticated patient: A patient that was registered in your source ADT/Registration system.
  • A verified patient: A patient that was manually created in the Commure Pro system, and whose information has been confirmed as complete. Verified patient names have an asterisk appended to their name (for example, DARR, MOLLY*).
  • A non-verified patient: A patient that was manually created in the Commure Pro system, and whose information has not yet been confirmed as complete. Non-verified patient names are enclosed in quotation marks (for example “DARR,MOLLY”). To manually create a new visit:
  1. From the Patient Details module, tap VISITS at the top right of the screen. The Visits screen is displayed and shows a list of all of the patient’s visits. The currently selected visit displays under the Selected Visit section and any other visits are displayed under the Other Visits section. If a visit is on the current patient list, it shows a blue checkmark in the left column.
  2. If the visit you need is not listed on the Visits screen, tap Add , located just above the list of visits. The Create Visit screen is displayed.
  3. Enter information into each field.
    • Required fields are indicated by an asterisk after the field label and the text “This field is required” in red.
    • Each organization determines the fields they want to capture for manually created visits, and whether those fields are required. However, the following fields are always required when you manually create a visit:ADT Visit Type, Appt/Admit Date with Time, and Facility. Other commonly used fields are Reason for Adding Patient, Reason for Visit, Unit, Room, and Bed.
    • Some or all of the information on this screen may already be completed for you, so that you need only confirm that it is accurate, and possibly fill in a few additional fields. You can accept these defaults, or clear them and select something else.
    • See also Special Notes about Facility, Unit, Room, and Bed Fields.
  4. Tap SAVE at the top right of the screen to create the visit. You are returned to the Visits screen and the newly created visits now displays in the list of visits. The patient is also immediately added to the current patient list.
