Patient Demographic Entry
Patient demographic information can be entered before acquisition. The entered patient ID fields will remain
populated until you acquire the ECG; however, if you disconnect the leads from the patient, turn off the
electrocardiograph, or change a configuration setting before acquisition, the patient information will be cleared.
To access the patient demographic data entry menu, press
F1
(
ID
) from real-time ECG view. If two or
more sites are configured, a select study screen will appear. Select the corresponding function key for the
group/study the current patient belongs to.
The patient demographic labels available are determined by the ID format selected in the configuration
settings. In addition to short, standard, or long patient ID formats, the ELI 150 Rx also supports a custom ID
format. The custom format, designed in an ELI LINK or E-Scribe™ Rx data management system, can be
downloaded to the ELI 150 Rx. Additional information about the custom ID can be found in Appendix A.
Patient demographic entry can be completed manually or automatically using an existing patient record in the
directory. To manually enter the patient demographics, use
Enter
,
Tab
,
F1
(
▲
), or
F2
(
▼
) to move to each data
entry field. Skipped fields will appear as a blank field on the header of the ECG printout.
TIP:
Type
F
from the keyboard to change the gender to female; type
M
to change the gender
to male.
To automatically populate the demographics using an existing patient record, select
F5
(
Direc
) from the
ID screen. Use
F1
(
▼
/
▲
) to navigate by line down the directory list; use (
Shift
),
F1
(
▼
/
▲
) to move up.
Similarly, use
F2
(
▼▼
/
▲▲
) to page down the directory list; use (
Shift
),
F2
(
▼▼
/
▲▲
) to page up. To
quickly select a patient name, use the keyboard to enter the first few letters of the last name. The letters
will be displayed in the lower left corner of the display screen and the desired name will automatically be
highlighted. Once the desired name is highlighted, press
F3
(
Selec
) and the patient ID screen will return
with all demographic fields populated. Return to real-time ECG view by selecting
F6
(
Done
).
TIP:
Automatically populating demographic fields via the directory is only possible when the
ID formats are the same between records.
Auto-Fill ID
If Auto-Fill ID is enabled in the configuration, the system will automatically populate the demographic
fields in the ID screen. When the patient ID field is manually populated and followed either by selecting
Enter
or
F2
(
▼
), the system automatically scans the patient directory. If records with the exact patient ID
are found, the existing data is used to fill some of the demographic fields. The auto-fill feature is designed
to automatically populate last name, first name, date of birth, age, and gender only. If no matching records
are found, a brief message is displayed and the user must manually enter the patient’s demographics.
NOTE:
In order to avoid the use of incorrect data, the auto-fill feature is only possible when
the ID formats are the same between records.
When time is of the essence or if patient demographics are not available, ID information can be added to the
ECG after it has been acquired via the patient directory. Acquiring an emergency (STAT) or unidentified
ECG is explained in
ECG Acquisition, Printing, Storage.
