Patient
In OneOfficeERP Healthcare, the Patient document corresponds to any individual who is the recipient of the healthcare services you provide. For every document, it is important to have a Patient associated with it.

Home > Healthcare > Masters > Patient > New Patient

- Enter the First Name, Gender, Blood Group, DOB, etc.
- Enter the patient's mobile number. This is important if you have enabled SMS alerts for patients.
- Enter the email address for the patient.
- For the "Customer" field you can create a customer and select it here. If you don't create select a Customer and you have enabled "Link Customer to Patient" in Healthcare Settings, a customer will be automatically created and linked as soon as you save the document.

2.2 Patient as a Customer
OneOfficeERP, especially the Accounts module, makes use of Customer document for booking all transactions. So, you may want to associate every Patient with a Customer. By default, the system creates a Customer alongside a Patient and links to it. If for some reason you do not intend to use the OneOfficeERP Accounts module you can turn this behavior off by disabling the flag "Link Customer to Patient" in Healthcare Settings.
In many cases, you may want to associate multiple Patients to a single Customer against whom you want to book the transactions. For instance, a Veterinarian would require the care services provided to different pets of an individual invoiced against a single Customer. In that case, select the same Customer in all these patients while creation.
2.3 Registration Fee
Many clinical facilities collect a registration fee during Patient Registration. You can enable this feature by checking the "Collect Registration Fee" in Healthcare Settings and set the registration fee amount.
If you have this option enabled, all new Patients you create will be in the "Disabled" state by default and will only be enabled after Invoicing the Registration Fee. To create Invoice and record the payment receipt, you can use the Invoice Patient Registration button in the Patient document.
Note: "Disabled" Patients are filtered out in all OneOfficeERP Healthcare documents.
2.4 Grant Access to Patient Portal
OneOfficeERP Healthcare allows you to create a portal user associated with a Patient by simply entering the user email id. A welcome email will be sent to the Patient email address to "Complete" registration.
