If your residents patients have been imported from SNAPshot, they may not appear on the resident patient screen. This is because all residents patients imported from SNAPshot are defaulted to archived. To view these residentspatients, you need to click on advanced search, check the 'inactive residentspatients' box and click on search. All the archived residents patients will appear in the search list in a greyed out colour. To make a resident patient appear in the current resident patient list, click on the folder icon and click 'Yes' when the 'Confirm resident Patient Restore' box appears. |
