About the Home page
The Home page is the first page that appears when you open the program. This page enables you
to view a list of patients as determined by the selection in the Show list. From the Home page you
can also initiate many common tasks. You can view the Home page at any time by clicking the
Home tab.
The Scan or type patient ID box
You can enter a patient ID either by typing it or by scanning it using a bar code scanner attached to
the computer. Depending on your system configuration, the Go button opens either the patient
record for that ID or the Capture Vital Signs window.
The Show list
The Show list enables you to select the information that you want to view. Every system comes
with an option to show My locations. Other options in the Show list are determined by the saved
searches that have been created.
If you want to view information that is not available through your Show list, you can find it by
searching.
The My locations option
When you select My locations in the Show list, the patients who have been admitted to the
selected locations are listed on the Home page. (If a patient in a selected location does not
appear in your list, you may find that patient by searching.)
You can reveal the location options by clicking the expand symbol ( ).
You can hide the location options by clicking the collapse symbol ( ).
