Patients Overview

  • Updated

The Patients tab contains an overview of your census, filters, and access to other items in your patient database. This page is often referred to as the Landing page because it is the first page that opens when you log into the Kipu EMR.

Note: Because the name of this tab is customizable, it can be renamed to the nomenclature your organization uses to refer to the individuals receiving treatment.

Patient Census

Each of the patients in your census is represented by a Patient Tile. You can access the patient's chart by clicking on their tile. Patients appear in one of the three statuses located at the top of the page for your review.

  • The Census consists of patients that have admission dates today or in the past and a discharge date in the future (or no discharge date).
  • Incoming indicates how many patients you have with admission date and time later today and patients with an admission date but without MR number (these patient tiles contain a red dot).
  • Discharges indicates how many patients you have with discharge date and time later today (these tiles contain a green dot).

Patient Tile Information

The icons on the patient's tiles allow the user to easily identify important information about this patient:
