Manage patient records

warning

RehabAlpha is still under active development. It is not yet HIPAA compliant and should only be used with dummy data.

Use facility patient records to store demographics and patient-specific details before adding coverages, admissions, or clinical documentation. Each record belongs to one facility.

Create a patient​

  1. Open Facilities and select the facility.
  2. Click Patients.
  3. Click New patient.
  4. Enter the patient's demographic information.
  5. Add patient details such as gender, height, weight, or Medicare Beneficiary ID when available.
  6. Click Save.

After saving, RehabAlpha opens a new-admission form for the patient. The patient remains visible on the facility's Patients page even if you do not create an admission.

View a patient​

  1. Open People and select Patients.
  2. Find the patient in the organization-wide list.
  3. Click the patient name.

The list includes patients from the facilities you can access. If the patient does not appear, turn off Active only to show patients without an active admission. You can also open Facilities, select the facility, and click Patients to use the facility-specific list.

Update a patient​

  1. Open the patient.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Update demographics, contact information, patient details, or tags.
  4. Click Save.

Delete a patient​

  1. Open the patient.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Find Danger zone.
  4. Click Delete patient.
  5. Confirm the deletion.

All admissions and coverages must be removed first. Only delete a patient if the record is not needed for documentation, schedules, billing, notices, or reporting.

Patients cannot be moved between facilities. Create a separate patient record under another facility when needed.
