Creating a new patient-visit

Visits and patients are typically imported into HAWS from LDMS so that HAWS users do not need to create them.

If a patient visit was not entered in LDMS, you can manually create the patient, along with a visit, in HAWS so that a workflow can be created.

  1. Open the assign a patient visit to a workflow task.
  2. Select a group from the Group list.
  3. Click the New patient button.

    The Create New Patient window will appear. This is where you will enter the information for the patient and the patient's visit.

      The Add Clinic window will appear.
    2. Enter the information for the clinic.
    3. Click the OK button.
