mediSIGHT – Manually Add a Patient<\/h1>\n
How to Manually Add a NUTH Patient to mediSIGHT<\/div>\n

This guide will show you how to add a patient to mediSIGHT who is already registered in Cerner \/ eRecord PAS (i.e. they already have a MRN), and<\/strong> they are currently an inpatient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/i> If the patient is not an active inpatient, please use the guide HERE<\/a> which allows all users to add patients<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n
Detailed Guide to Add a New Patient to mediSIGHT<\/div>\n
<\/i> This can only be performed by System Adminstrators.\u00a0 Please speak with Mr Cunningham or Mandy Partridge in the first instance.\u00a0 Out of hours please log an Incident with IT Helpdesk x21000.<\/p>\n

This guide should only be used when it is essential to document Ophthalmic notes before the patient is discharged from their current inpatient encounter in NUTH.<\/div>\n

    \n
  1. Open mediSIGHT<\/li>\n
  2. Click “Advanced” under “Find patient”<\/li>\n
  3. Click “Add a new patient”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Complete the patient details<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      <\/i> Ensure the Hospital number (MRN), NHS number, Family name, Given name and DoB exactly match the details in NUTH PAS \/ eRecord.\u00a0 Failure to accurately copy the details will lead to a duplicate patient being created.<\/div>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Click “Create patient record”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        <\/i> <\/p>\n

        The patient is still not fully linked to NUTH PAS, and will currently not receive updates from the NUTH eRecord \/ PAS systems.<\/p>\n

        Please log an Incident with IT Service Desk asking the Interface Team to add the patient to the “Preseen” table for mediSIGHT.\u00a0 This will stop the system filtering out the HL7 messages before they reach mediSIGHT.<\/p>\n

        This can also be achieved by following the guide HERE<\/a> <\/strong>when the patient is discharged from their current inpatient encounter.\u00a0 However forgetting to do this will mean the mediSIGHT record will not receive updates regarding the patient’s demographics, so logging an incident as above is recommended.<\/p>\n
