New Patient Registration

WRS has created a new, streamlined process for registering a new patient. This new registration page can be found under the “Patients” tab and by selecting “Patient Registration New.”

How It Works

When registering a new patient, your front desk staff’s workflow remains the same. The required information is identified by red asterisks next to it, similar to the old registration. However, all of the “additional” and “optional” fields are listed in dropdown menus.

The “additional demographics” section includes areas to:

• Upload a patient’s photo.
• Scan and upload a copy of their driver’s license / other ID card.
• Select marital and employment status.
• Acknowledge patient policies.

The “optional demographics” section includes race & ethnicity, language preference, gender identification, and sexual orientation.

If the personnel registering the patient does not want to enter in the additional or optional demographic information upon registration, they can leave it blank. Patients can enter this information in the patient portal, in the check in module, and on their new patient paperwork.
