Patient record
The patient record combines a patient's administrative information and clinical work for the active shift.
Create and open a record
From Home, click New patient. The record is created immediately. You can also open an existing patient from the activity feed.
The record has four tabs:
| Tab | Content |
|---|---|
| Details | Identity and administrative information |
| Notes | Dictated or edited clinical notes |
| Forms | Generated forms and PDF documents |
| Billing | Diagnosis, visits, and billing codes |
Complete the details
You can enter:
- full name;
- RAMQ number and expiry date;
- phone number and date of birth;
- record number;
- consultation number;
- location, such as stretcher or ambulatory.
Save changes before leaving the tab. If changes are unsaved, Saro asks whether you want to save them.
Use the record
From the record tabs, you can create a note, generate a form, or enter billing without returning to Home. Added items also appear in the shift activity feed.
Delete a patient
Use the delete action in the record header, then confirm. This action is irreversible and removes the record and its associated content.
The patient's date of birth is required to protect access when sending forms to the patient.
The mobile app can fill details from a photo and scan patient or care-episode numbers with the camera when supported by the workplace.
