Entering Patient Information with a Barcode
Reader
Using a barcode reader can simplify the entry of patient information and reduce
the chance of introducing errors. When you scan a patient’s barcode, it retrieves
the patient information encoded in the barcode. You can then verify or modify the
information as appropriate.

system and that the system is correctly configured to use the peripheral.
If it is not connected, follow the instructions for connecting and configuring the
barcode reader in the section
“Connecting the Barcode Reader” on page 48 and
Appendix A “Creating Barcodes ” on page 193 .
