Patient Registration: Baby On The Way
Within RCM Admin > Enterprise > Company, when the option “Show Unknown as option for Sex” is enabled, a new setting called “New Patient – Allow to Add Baby on the Way” is now available.
When enabled in Company settings, a checkbox will appear during patient registration. Selecting this option will automatically pull the guarantor’s last name, assign the first name as Baby1, default the sex to Unknown, and leave the date of birth blank. Instead of a DOB, the User will be prompted to enter a due date.
Once the baby is born, the EHR User can update the patient’s information by entering the correct name, date of birth, and gender.
