Welcome

This is the first in a monthly series of helpful newsletters that are designed to help you get the most out of ChartEvolve. Helpful hints on how to get your work done more efficiently.

Help! I created a new patient, but I just realized that I spelled the name wrong. How do I fix that?

On every screen in ChartEvolve you see the current patient's name and a number of important pieces of information. This is a very helpful tool called the 'Master Patient Index'. The information in the Heads up Display is for information only and is not editable.

To correct or edit a persons name you must first navigate to the 'Demographics' Screen. Note that on the top left there is a purple box that announces the screen you are on. Click on the button labeled 'Demographics' again. the box on the top left changes from Demographics to New Record. On this screen you can change the Patients First, Middle and Last names. In addition you can modify the salutation and any generational indicators after the name (Jr. or Sr.)

The Regular Demographics Screen. The patients name can't be edited.

The 'New Record' Demographics Screen. After clicking the Demographics button
again, the name of the screen changes to 'New Record' and the name fields can
all be edited. When finished, click the Demographics Button again.

NB: For adults, please remember to add the appropriate salutation (Mr., Mrs. etc.)
