Accessing Patient Record Tabs

This page appears when Harvest Webstation is unable to find a match for your entry in the Patient or ID field from the Order Samples: Patient & Order Choices page, when you click the Add Patient button in the Order Samples: Find Patient or Order Samples: Patient List pages, when there is only one match from a patient search accessed from the main Results page, or if you click a patient name in the Patient Search Results, Unreleased Orders, Orders in Progress (technologists only), or Completed Results pages.

Harvest Webstation displays the Patient tab by default when you access the page during order entry, or it displays the Orders tab when you access the page by performing a patient search or click a patient's name on any of the order list pages.

Click the Alerts tab to enter important information about the patient or access the Patient, Orders, Insurance, Encounter, or Recurring Orders tabs. If you make changes to the information on any of these tabs and then click on a different tab, the changes will automatically be saved. If there are alerts for the patient, then the Alerts tab name appears as "Alerts!" with an exclamation point.

IMPORTANT: When creating a new patient record, you must save the information on the Patient tab before you may enter insurance, encounter, or alert information.

IMPORTANT: You will receive an alert and not be able to edit the patient alert information if another user is currently modifying the patient's record.

Entering or Editing Patient Alerts

The patient's Name and Patient ID are listed at the top of the tab. Note that Harvest Webstation appends "[DECEASED]" to the patient's name in the list of matches if the patient is marked as deceased on this page (see below) or in Harvest.

Note that you must have the necessary security settings in order to edit information on the Alerts Tab. See Configuring Harvest Webstation: Establishing Security Settings for more information. Otherwise, you may only view the information on the Alerts Tab.

1. Enter text that describes the patient's medical condition or other information that may be useful in reviewing patient data.
2. You may add text to an existing alert, but if you delete or write over existing text, it is permanently deleted.
3. These alerts do not print on the patient reports, but may be printed using the Print command in your web browser.

If you accessed this page during order entry, access the Patient tab and then click the Save & Return to Order button to save your changes and return to the preceding page.

If you accessed this page by performing a patient search, click the Save button to save your changes.

When you save an alert here, it is saved in Harvest as a patient alert, which you may access from the Editing Patient and Order Patient Samples windows. See the Harvest online help for more information.
