10.12. Patient type and Ward setup

Patient types and Wards are two fields that are enterable on a prescription. But before they will appear on a prescription for display, you must set them up. Have no fear, the instructions are here

Patient types

Patient types are actually transaction categories. To set them up, choose Special > Transaction categories… from the menus or click on the Transaction categories icon on the Patient, Customer or Special tab of the Navigator:

On the Transaction categories window that opens, click on the Transaction type drop down list and select Prescriptions (2):

Click on the New button to add one or double-click one already in the list to edit it. This window opens (populated with the current details of the category if you're editing one, empty if you're creating a new one):

Master category: You can ignore this, it isn't used for patient types.
