Looking Up a Patient by Patient List

1.   Click Select pt to display the Partners Patient Lookup dialog box.

2.   In the Institution field, select the appropriate site for the list you want to access. For example, to access a personal list, the Institution field must be set to MGH, while a Pod list can be accessed only when it is set to BWH. Folders for the site selected are displayed in the Patient Lists pane on the left side of Patient Lookup.

3.   In the Patient Lists pane, double-click folders to "drill down" to the desired patient list.

Note: To access a Scheduled Patients list, drill down in the Other Lists folder. You can select the list for any day up to two weeks earlier or later than the current date.

4.   Double-click the list name to display patients from that list on the right.

      Note: You can use the horizontal scroll bar to see additional patient information, such as Vip status and PCP. If the list is long, use the vertical scroll bar and More button to move through the names. Clicking a column heading sorts the list by the data in that column.

5.   Click the patient name; then click Ok (ALT+O).

Note: On any tab, you can switch to the previous or next patient in the list by clicking the left or right arrow in the tab's lower right corner.
