Managing patients
Create and admit a new patient
In many configurations, patient records are automatically kept in-sync with the hospital
information system. In those configurations, it is generally not necessary or even desirable to enter
patient information manually. If the configuration at your facility allows it, you can create a patient
by following these steps.
1. Select File > Create new patient.
2. Enter patient information.
3. Click Save.
The new patient has a admit status of Admitted in the Connex VM program.

When you delete a patient, the patient record moves to the recycle bin. The deleted record cannot
be viewed, updated, or restored.
