To Search by Date of Birth

The Patient Search window is displayed when you access the Patient Search module.

To access a patient record using a date of birth search:

1. Access the Patient Search window.
2. If necessary, select the facility you need from the Facility list box.
3. Do one of the following:
• Enter the patient's date of birth in the Date of Birth field. Enter numbers in the format displayed next to the date field, for example, mm/dd/yyyy. You must enter all numbers in the correct format; the system does not accept a future date or a DOB that occured more than 150 years ago.

OR

• Select a date using the calendar.

Note: If you enter the DOB, do not make an entry in the Age field. The system does not perform a search on both fields at the same time.

4. Enter any other search criteria that might help filter your search, such as last name.
5. Do one of the following:
• To clear the search fields and enter new data, click the Reset button.
• To continue performing the search with the data you have entered, click the Search button.

The system returns all results that match your search criteria. See About Search Results.

If the module is unable to locate the patient record based on your entry, the system returns an appropriate message; this may help you select other criteria on which to search.
