Select a Patient

To open Patient Lookup, hold the mouse pointer over the Select menu, and then click the Patient option.
To find and select a patient:

Enter criteria for the search. For the most accurate results, use the patient's medical record number (MRN) whenever possible.

Look up by number: In the Patient Name/MRN/SSN field, type the patient's MRN or social security number (SSN). Format the SSN as nnn-nn-nnnn, including dashes.
Look up by name: In the Patient Name/MRN/SSN field, type at least the first three (3) letters of the patient's last name. If typing both last and first name (which yields fewer results), separate the names with a comma. Hyphens (-), apostrophes (') and periods (.) are accepted. See also: Patient lookup involving special characters.

To view a long list of results, scroll down to display the remainder of the page.
To display the next page of results, click the More link in the upper or lower right corner of the grid. (The link does not appear if there is only a single page of results.)
To view patient demographics, click the Detail link in the last column. See Patient Demographics for more information.
To start over, click the Initiate New Search link.

To find the patient who was last looked up on the device you're using, click the Last Patient button.
To repeat a search using the most recently entered parameters, click the Restore button. (This option is available only if a patient was not selected from the lookup results.)
