3 min read

This tutorial will guide you through the process of adding a new patient to the MYCURE system. Creating patient records is the foundation of patient management in MYCURE and allows you to maintain accurate medical records for your practice.

What You'll Learn

  • How to access the patient registration form

  • How to properly fill out patient information

  • How to save a new patient record to the system

  • Common troubleshooting tips for patient creation

Before You Begin

  • You need an active MYCURE v10 account with appropriate user permissions

  • You should be logged into the MYCURE system

  • You should have the necessary patient information ready (personal details, contact information, etc.)

Steps

1. Navigate to the Patient List

Go to the main dashboard and click on the "Patients" section in the main navigation menu. This will redirect you to the Patient List page under Registration which displays the list of all existing patients in the system.


2. Access the Create New Item Form

Look for the "Create" button, typically located at the top-right corner of the patient list screen. Click this button to open the new patient registration form.


3. Fill Out the Required Information

Complete all required fields in the patient registration form. Required fields are typically marked with an asterisk (*) and may include:

  • First and Last Name

  • Date of Birth

  • Sex/Gender

  • Contact Information (phone number, email)

  • Address

  • ID/Medical Record Number (if applicable)

Make sure all information is accurate and properly formatted.


4. Save the Patient Record

After filling out all required information, review the form for accuracy and then click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the form. The system will process your request and, if successful, will add the new patient to your patient list.


Tips and Common Issues

Tip:

If the patient has previously visited your clinic, it's a good practice to search for the patient in the system first to avoid creating duplicate records.

Note:

Some fields may have specific formatting requirements. For example, phone numbers might need to follow a specific pattern like (XXX) XXX-XXXX.

Warning:

Patient information is protected health data. Ensure you're following proper data privacy protocols when collecting and storing patient information.


Troubleshooting

  • Save button is not active - Ensure all required fields are completed with valid information

  • Error message appears when saving - Check that there are no validation errors and that all fields are properly formatted

  • Patient doesn't appear in the list after saving - Try refreshing the patient list or check if any filters are applied that might hide the new patient

  • Form resets unexpectedly - Make sure you have a stable internet connection, as connection issues can cause form submission problems
