The Patients module allows you to search for and register patients, capture their demographic details and view a summary of their medical background. Registering a patient via the Patients module allows you to start building up clinical notes and scheduling events for them.

The Patients module can work in concert with the Episodes module to provide a fully functional Patient Administration System (PAS), but can also sit on top of existing external Patient Administration Systems, keeping in sync and providing a view through to that system.

When viewing a patient in PatientSource, the Patients module is the first module you see and it gives a bitesize overview of the patient details provided, from name, next- of-kin, to past procedures through to allergies and alerts. Sections such as past procedures, medical history and allergies and alerts have the functionality to pull through the information recorded, into the Case Notes module. This benefits Clinicians when they are completing a consultation, pre-assessment or operative note as they are able to see this information within that context. This in turn benefits the patient as this functionality ensures the clinician can provide efficient, higher quality, safer and more personalised care at the point of contact.
