Patients
A list in EHR → Clinical. Records can be created and corrected here, under the rules in What may be changed.
Where to find it
Address in the console: /ehr/patients
List · 7 columns · 10 fields on its form · 4 of them required · 1 action
Records here are not deleted. Where something must be undone it is reversed or superseded, so the trail survives.

The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
