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