The purpose of this article is to outline functions to manage patient information in the NRDR App.
Add New Patient
To add a new patient, please refer to the NRDR App: Patient Upload article.
Edit Patient
To edit a patient in the Uploader app, click Edit in the Action column for the corresponding patient.
The patient must have an active status to edit. Click Save once desired fields are edited.
Delete Patient
To delete a patient, click Edit in the Action column for the corresponding patient then click Delete.
A prompt will appear requiring a confirmation to delete the corresponding patient.
Note: Patients cannot be deleted if they have existing exams in NRDR.
Cancel Patient
To cancel a patient, click Cancel Patient in the Action column for the corresponding patient in the Patients table.
Note: It is recommended that a patient only be canceled if no other exams will be submitted for the patient. Submitting exams after a patient has been canceled will open a new active record for the patient.
Activate Cancelled Patient
To make a patient active again, click Make Active in the Action column for the corresponding cancelled patient in the Patients table.
Note: The system will validate that the existing ID for this patient is still unique to the specific patient. If no duplicates are found, the system will activate the cancelled patient sucessfully. If there is a duplicate patient found, an error message will show and the patient will not be changed to active.
Merge Patients
You can merge patients in the NRDR App by using the Resolve Patient Duplicates button in the Patients tab.
Select the patients you wish to merge by clicking the checkbox next to each patient, or click Select All if you wish to merge 100 patients or less. Select Merge Patients and Confirm Merge Patients to complete the merge.
Note: No more than 100 patients can be merged at once. If more than 100 patients are selected manually, or the Select All button selects more than 100 patients, an error will display and the merge patients function will not work. If you wish to merge more than 100 patients, please use the merge patient data file upload function to merge patients. There must be at least one active patient in the selected list to merge patients. If there are only cancelled patients selected, the merge patients function will not work.
View History of Patient Changes
To view changes made to the patient profile (additions, edits, deletions, modifications), select History in the Action column or View History under the Patients table.
Note: For enhanced security and data protection, Registry Administrators can now only manage and view history of patients of the facility and registry that they have access to. Facility Administrators can manage and view history of all patients of the facility that they have access to.
