Searching for a patient by a number

Similarly, you can select a patient by chart number.  Type a chart number into the Number field and press Enter.  There are 4 options for searching by patient account number, based on the selection made in Settings and Preferences.

Anywhere in Chart – In the number search field, enter any number. ChiroSuiteEHR provides a list of all patients whose chart/account number contains that number. For example, type in 23. The search will show you everyone that has 23 anyplace in the chart number (1999-00023; 1987-23005; 2001-49237; 23962; etc.). This option is the one most commonly used. It requires the least number of digits entered in order to find a specific patient.

Where Chart Begins With – The only accounts that will be shown are those that start with the number (such as 23095; 2350-17404). In order to find a specific patient it may be necessary to enter a minimum of 5 digits.

Where Chart Ends With – The only accounts that will be shown are those that end with the number (such as 1997-00523; 1997-00023; 1998-00023; 1999-00023, etc.). In order to find a specific patient it may be necessary to enter at least 3 digits.

Where Chart is Equal – Enter the exact number you are searching for. If the patient chart number is the automatically generated number by ChiroSuiteEHR, then 9 digits will need to be entered to find the patient.

As soon as the patient’s name appears, either double left click the patient’s name to open the account or right click and select sign-in.
