Patients
Patient records connect appointments, consultations, prescriptions, lab results, invoices, admissions, and the full patient journey.
Patient records

- Purpose: Create hospital patient records, find linked ZenhCare accounts, and review the complete patient journey.
- Access: Clinical → Patients. Search by name, email, phone, hospital patient ID, or barcode.
- Create Hospital Patient: Select the create action or use the patient picker from an appointment/admission form.
- Required fields shown by the form: Full Name, Gender, ID Type, ID Number, and Date of Birth. If date of birth is unknown, the form offers age in Years, Months, or Days.
- Optional fields: Phone, email, blood type, profile photo/webcam capture, emergency contact name/phone/relationship, lead source, PC/referral code, and agent name. Agent Name becomes required when the selected lead source requires it.
- Identity options: ID types come from the application's configured identification list. Gender and blood type are selectable. A linked registered ZenhCare account is marked with a badge.
- After saving: The hospital-scoped record receives a patient ID and can be used for appointments, lab orders, prescriptions, invoices, and admissions. If a registration fee is enabled, a registration invoice prompt can appear; payment method and optional transaction ID can be recorded.
- Patient detail: Review appointments, prescriptions, lab orders/results, invoices, and the timeline-style Patient Journey. Preview or print a registration card; card layout is controlled in Clinical Settings.
- Barcode: Select scan, center the patient card barcode in good light, or enter the hospital patient number manually. A successful scan opens/selects the patient.
