Entering a visit not in LDMS

To create a visit, the patient must already exist. If the patient was not added in LDMS, you can add it manually it HAWS.

If a visit for a patient was not entered in LDMS, you can manually create the visit in HAWS so that it can be assigned a workflow.

  1. Click the Assign a patient visit to a workflow link from the Common Tasks list on the left.
  2. Select a group from the Group list.
  3. Optional: Filter the search results by entering information into any of the boxes in the Optional search filters section.
    The Patient ID, Study, and Visit unit fields allow for the use of wildcard characters. An asterisk (*) represents one or more of any character; an underscore (_) matches a single character.
  4. Optional: Select the Include already assigned visits option if you want visits that have already been assigned to a workflow to appear in the search results.
  5. Select a single patient visit.
    This is a visit for the patient for which you want to add a new visit.
  6. Click the New visit button.

    The Create New Visit window will appear. This is where you will enter the new visit information.



  7. Complete the visit information.
  8. Select the clinic where the visit occurred from the Clinic list.

    If the clinic needed is not available in the clinic list, add it by doing the following:

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

      The click with the information you specified will be added to the Clinic list.

      Note: Clinics that are manually added are only added to your local HAWS database. They will not be available in LDMS. If you need to have a clinic added to LDMS, contact HAWS User Support for assistance.
  9. Click the OK button.

The new patient visit will automatically be assigned a default algorithm based on its visit unit.
