Registering a patient with UHID

Step by Step

1. Open Hospital → Patients → New.
2. Enter demographics, emergency contact and insurance info.
3. A UHID is generated automatically.
4. Every purchase, test and admission links back to this UHID.

Why a UHID

The UHID (unique health ID) is the patient’s permanent number in your hospital. Every pharmacy bill, lab test, OPD visit and admission links to it, so you can see a patient’s full history and avoid duplicate records.

Good Practice

• Search by phone number before registering — the patient may already exist.
• Record an emergency contact and, for insured patients, the insurer and policy number.
• Print the UHID on the patient’s file and receipts.

Patient registration is part of the Clinic and Hospital plans.

FAQ

• Can two family members share a phone number? Yes. Each person gets their own UHID; the phone number can be the same.
• Can I correct a patient’s details later? Yes. Changes are recorded in the audit log.
