The +Study button is used when a study needs to be created manually:
- To create a test report
- To create a study when no order has been received - this study will need to be merged when the order arrives. This should be limited to Stat or Urgent cases.
Press the "+ Study" button as shown below
Enter the patient's PID, Date of Birth, or name. If the patient exists in EncaptureMD, you will be presented with a list of patients that match your query. If there are results, and the correct patient is listed, select the row for that patient so that it is highlighted blue ( 1 ) and press the "Continue" button (2).
If there is no patient in EncaptureMD that matches your query, you will need to create the patient. In this case, press the "+ Patient" button
Fill out the patient details in the window that appears and press the "Confirm" button. Not every field needs to be filled out.
3. Select a location and application for your new study ( 1 ). If a study or multiple studies exist for this patient in this location and lab, you will see an extra window that will give you the option to use an existing study ( 2 ) or create a new study for this patient ( 3 ).
4. You will now be redirected to the study, new or reused, based on your selection, for this patient. See Study Tab to learn how to use the study tab.
