Adding a New Patient Manually

Updated over 2 months ago

Introduction

This article explains how to manually record a new patient into the system database. Adding new patients is an essential step for administration, appointment scheduling, and managing patient data. This process ensures that all necessary information is available for future care.

By using this function, users can create new profiles directly from the administration interface without needing external imports. This is particularly useful for individual cases or when a patient first contacts the clinic via phone or in person.
