How to View and Update a Patient's Registration Details

Purpose

Once a patient is registered in Medicus, you can view and manage their registration details from their administrative record. This guide shows you how to do this in Medicus.

Navigating to the administrative record

There are two ways to navigate to the patient record within Medicus:

1. Using the patient finder.
2. By selecting a patient from the patient list, located in the Patient Administration module.

Once you select the patient you'd like to view through one of the methods outlined above, select Administrative Record from the left hand side navigation bar to be taken to the administrative record.

Registration details

Select the Registration tab within the administrative record to view the patient's current registration details.

Some of the fields are read only, like registration type, registration dates, PCSE registration status and the PDS linked NHS number.

There are some registration details you can update from this page:

• A patients usual GP.
• Preferred location.
• Responsible health authority.
• Whether a patient lives in a care home or at school/university.
• Whether medication is dispensed by the practice - updating this setting will then update the patient's P3 dispensing doctor nomination.
• Manually removing an FP69 flag.

You can also start a deduction request manually from this page.
