Purpose

You may want to register patients under a custom registration type to differentiate them from the default registration types of Permanent, Temporary Resident or Immediate Necessary Treatment. This help article will go through the steps to create and manage custom registration types.

Creating a custom registration type

To create a custom registration type, go to Modules > Patient Registration > Registration Types.

You will see the Medicus Registration Types which are the default types and cannot be edited.

You will also see any existing Custom Registration Types.

To create a new registration type, select Add Registration Type.

You can then give the registration type a name. You can also give the registration type a default registration period. If you do give it a default registration period, the registration will automatically end after this time period. If no default registration period is given, the registration will stay active until manually ended.

To save the new registration type, select Add registration type.

Edit or archive a custom registration type

To edit or archive a custom registration type, select it from the list.

To edit the registration type, select the pencil icon in the top right hand corner. You will then be able to edit the name and the default registration period.

You can archive the registration type by selecting Archive.
