Patient Registration

The Patient registration screen is used to capture and manage demographic information about a patient. Totalcare can store a large amount of information about each patient, but only a minimal subset needs to be entered to register a patient.

Some of the key features of Totalcare’s patient registration and management are,

• Fast and efficient data entry.
• Preferred and Legal names.
• Extended demographics such as Marital status, Place of Birth, Indigenous/Islander status, Language, etc.
• Multiple addresses.

• Family linkages – links family members to a ‘group’.
• Debt assignment path by family (Self payer, Dependant, Head of family) and/or linked other payer (Third party or other patient).
