Adding Patients to a Non-Retail Group

Patients can be added to a non-retail group through the Patient Folder or Group Folder. When a patient is added to a non-retail group, the group's default billing code, as set in Group Preferences, will be automatically added to the patient's list of Third Parties.

Adding Patients from the Patient Folder

To add patients to a retail group:

  1. From the Workbench, select the Patient navigator button. The Patient Search window appears.

  2. Search for and select a patient.

    If the patient is new, you must create a Patient Folder first. For more information, see Patient Folder Creation.

  3. From the Main tab of the Patient Folder, select the Groups tab.

  4. Select Add.

    The Groups Search window appears.

  5. Search for and select the group.

    If the group does not already exist, a new group must be created. For more information, see Creating a New Group.

    A validation prompt appears.

  6. Select Yes. The Assign Standing Orders window opens if the group has any active Standing Orders.

    If No is selected, the prescription are inactivated in the Profile tab.

  7. Select any Standing Orders applicable to the patient, and then select Process to create the prescriptions. Select Skip if the patient does not have any Standing Orders. The window returns to the Group Folder Patients tab.

  8. Optional: Enter the Floor, Wing, Area, RoomBed, Cycle, and/or Admission Date for the patient.

  9. Select Save. Propel Rx adds the group's default billing code to the Patient Folder Third Party tab, if applicable.
