How to print a patient wristband in an Outpatient location

Please note: this process is for initial printing of a wristband in Outpatients only. If you need to re-print an existing wristband you should follow the reprinting guide

1. Open PM Office
2. From the Task menu at the top left of the screen, select Documents
3. From the Person Mgmt Documents window – select the Action menu at the top of the window and Find Person
4. Enter the patient MRN number and Search
5. After checking the patient details in the top part of the window, select the correct Active OUTPATIENT Encounter from the bottom section – click OK

Ensure the correct outpatient encounter is chosen; otherwise the patient may be wearing a wristband that contains details which refer to a previous hospital visit

6. From the Person Mgmt Documents window
   1. Select Wristband Generic from the right side menu
   2. Click the Printer icon
   3. Select the wristband printer name from the dropdown list (the printer name will be visible on the actual printer – type the first letter of the printer name as a shortcut)
   4. Click OK

Once the printer window opens, it is possible to set your selected printer as a default printer so that it will populate in future wristband prints without the need for searching each time – Click the Set Default button prior to clicking OK
