Entering Patient Information
Connecting the Card Reader
Before you can use the card reader, it must be connected to the MAC system and the
system must be configured to correctly use the peripheral. Typically, this is done only
once and the card reader remains attached and ready for use.
1. Connect the magnetic card reader to port A on the back panel of the system.
For information on the system ports, refer to “Back Panel” on page 27 .
2. Configure the card reader.
For information, refer to “Setting Up a Card Reader” on page 149 .
Reading a Patient ID Card
After the card reader has been set up, use the following procedure to read a patient's
ID card.
1. For each new patient, select Patient Data .
The message Slide the Patient ID card or Slide the Visit Number card opens,
depending on system configuration.
2. Slide the magnetic card through the magnetic card reader, making sure the
magnetic strip is facing the correct direction.
What happens next depends on your system settings.
The system may be set up to simply load the patient data directly from the
card. Or, it may be set up to use either the card's
Patient ID or Visit Number
to retrieve orders or ADT data. Orders may be retrieved from the local cart or
from the MUSE system, while ADT information is always retrieved from the MUSE
system. With this variety of options, several configuration combinations are
possible. However, even with all the potential configurations, only five responses
are possible:
• If the system is not configured to retrieve orders or ADT information, or if it
finds no matching records, the system loads the patient information from the
card and displays it in the
Patient Data window.
Accept or modify the data as needed.
• If the system locates only one ADT record, it loads that record and displays it
in the Patient Data window.
Accept or modify the data as needed.
• If the system locates multiple matching ADT records, it displays a list of those
records.
Do one of the following:
• Select the correct record to load its ADT information.
You can then use or modify the patient information as needed.
• Select Cancel to load the patient information directly from the card.
You can then use or modify the patient information as needed.
• If the system locates one matching order, it retrieves that order.
You can then modify the order information or begin the test.
• If the system locates multiple matching orders, it displays a list of those
orders.
