Tips and Common Issues

Tip:

When registering new patients, have their ID or other identification documents ready to ensure accurate information entry.

Note:

The EMR documentation requirements may vary based on your facility's policies and the patient's condition. Ensure you complete all required fields for your specific workflow.

Warning:

Always finalize billing transactions completely. Partial or incomplete transactions can cause reconciliation issues later.

Troubleshooting

  • Cannot find patient in queue - Check if you've selected the correct queue. The patient may be in a different queue based on their status.

  • Billing items not appearing - Verify that the patient has completed the necessary service steps before attempting billing.

  • Payment method unavailable - Ensure your user account has the proper permissions for the selected payment method.

  • Unable to finalize transaction - Check that all required billing fields are filled in correctly before finalizing.
