Transferring a patient to a new Customer
Submitted by lara pet hospital on Thu, 13/07/2017 - 20:06
I am wondering how to transfer the history and patient details of a patient to another client when they have been rehomed. I did find a thread which said to transfer the patient to the new client but there was no detail on how to do that.
I don't need financial records to come across, just the clinical history and patient details.
Thanks
Julia
Re: Transferring a patient to a new Customer
Piece of cake Julia - call up the patient in the Patients|Information screen then:
1) press the Edit button
2) with the Customer tab selected (it should be), click Add to add a new patient owner
3) enter the new customer's name [if you have not yet created the new customer, then on the customer selection window, press New to create the new customer]
4) adjust the From date (if it is other than today) and press OK. Note that the old owner will be automatically closed off - ie their To date will be set to today.
The new owner will now be displayed. To see the old owners as well untick the 'Hide Inactive Customers' box.
