How do you create a new patient?
The below is now somewhat obsolete with Kevin Toppenberg's TMG-CPRS.

Ignacio Valdes 		Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2008 21:01:01 -0500 So, how do you create a new patient in the system? -- IV

I, Valdes  	Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2008 19:18:38 -0700 (PDT)

Rephrase: "Good morning Dr. Chandra. I'm ready to create my first patient."

Nancy Anthracite 	 Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2008 23:02:27 -0400

The options either REGISTER A PATIENT or LOAD/EDIT PATIENT DATA

-- Nancy Anthracite I, Valdes  	Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 14:39:29 -0700 (PDT)

I did this once, but now I've created my great DHCP login (Intracare Implementation Log Episode 16: VA DHCP style login HowTo How to) but I can only get to 'Select Core Applications Option:' and for some reason if I enter register or any other like below I don't seem to be able to get to patient registration. Are my permissions borked? What to do?

-- IV Nancy Anthracite		Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:32:00 -0400

What do you get when you log in at ^ZU, if anything, besides Core Applications, who are you when you long in and what secondary menus does that user have, and what do you get when you type ?? at the core Applications Prompt?

So what do I need to put in as Primary or Secondary menu to get patient registration? Right now I only have primary menu as XUCORE with no secondary... -- IV Nancy Anthracite 	Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 22:57:08 -0400

REGISTER APATIENTor LOAD/EDITPATIENTDATA could be primary menus for a registration clerk or secondary for others.

-- Nancy Anthracite I, Valdes 	Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 07:04:49 -0700 (PDT)

Okay, thanks I'll try it. So is there a heirarchical structure to these permissions or is it flat or something else? -- IV kdtop		Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:06:31 -0700 (PDT)

Here is a link that shows menus and their heirarchy:


 * http://www.geocities.com/kdtop3/VistaMasterMenus.html

I compiled this when I was trying to sort through everything. You can create your own menu, and include as many options as you want in that menu. Then assign that as a primary or secondary menu so that you can get to it via the command-line interface.

Wow! It has a complete Dietetic system! -- IV Nancy Anthracite 	Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 23:13:18 -0400

It is text based, but it is awesome!

Okay, here is a terminal session that I did with Dave on how to do a bunch of queries as to who has what menus as well as how to rebuild the menus. What may have been the problem all along however is that I wasn't doing 'up arrow' ^Register. After I did that I could get to registration from XUCORE. GTM>S DUZ=60 D ^XUP
