Patient management: add a patient to a study

Add a patient to an ongoing study

Now let’s try to add a new patient to a already ongoing study (Merengues and Cream, for example). You can do this by adding these patients manually be searching on the patient list from the hospital as mentioned above. For this, please navigate to “Patient management”, and then to “Add patient to a study”.

Here you will be prompted to add a patient either from the local Hospital/Carecenter or add this patient manually.

Note

In this search area, you have access to the patients in the Hospital. In order to search for these patients, IDEAL has to be connected to the Hospital database and will be regularly updated.

When selecting “Paul Klee” (just by right clicking on it), the patient information available in the hospital database will be automatically “added” to the “Study patient” field, as shown below.

Here you will have to select the “Study” to which you’ll be adding this patient, and add the “Study Patient ID”.

Then by scrolling to the bottom of the page, select “Save” and the patient is added to the study and will appear in the “Patients List”.

Warning

Remember that not all IDEAL users are able to search for patients in the Hospital database. Check more information on IDEAL Users - types and permissions.
