Patient Context Menu
Context Menu for patient grid in client/patient screen
The PATIENT CONTEXT MENU will handle many tasks, most of them for a specific patient.  If the task is for a specific patient the menu is opened by right clicking on that patient, otherwise it is opened by right clicking anywhere in the patient grid.  The PRINT, SEARCH, and REMOVE PHOTO options open submenus.  Each option performs as follows:
●  The PRINT option opens a submenu with the following six options:
    ■  The PRINT FORM button opens a list of forms designed and maintained by the clinic where a form can be selected
    and printed.  Examples of the forms might be SURGICAL RELEASE, EUTHANASIA RELEASE, HEALTH CERTIFICATE,
    etc.  The forms can be designed with "merge" fields for the patient's name, date of birth, rabies vaccination due date,
    etc.  Client information can also be merged.  This means that when the form is printed it is complete with specific
    information making it for the selected client and patient.
    ■  The DUPLICATE RABIES CERTIFICATE option prints a copy of the most recent rabies certificate for the patient selected.
    ■  The WORK SHEET option prints a sheet with client and patient information and a check list of services/products for
    the species being serviced.  This option is only used if the clinic does not have work stations in the exam rooms.  It is
    generally given to a technician to enter the services and products invoiced and related information after service is complete.
    ■  The FILE LABEL option prints a label with the appropriate patient information to be useful for labeling a file folder, etc.
    ■  The PATIENT LABEL option prints a label of patient information which can be used for a folder or for other uses.
    ■  The WORD FORM option opens a word processor which contains forms in the microsoft word format.  Forms generated in
    the PRINT FORM option above can be automatically converted or generated for use in this word processor.  It can import and
    use other forms using the word format such as the LIFE LEARN forms many clinics use as handouts.
●  The CHANGE OWNER option allows the selected patient to be assigned to a different client.  The medical records, reminder history and status, and other patient related information stays with the patient.  The invoice history stays with the prior client.
●  The CITY TAG INFORMATION option displays (and allows the editing of) the city, cit tag number, and effective date.
● The PATIENT CODE option is another location for managing the selected patient's color code.
●  The UPDATE PATIENT STATUS opens a window where the patient's status can be viewed or updated.  The options are ACTIVE, INACTIVE, or DECEASED.  This effects whether the patient is available for inclusion in reminder mailers, target marketing, etc.
●  The SEARCH option opens a submenu which allows for a patient search with RABIES TAG NUMBER, MICROCHIP NUMBER, TATTOO, CITY TAG NUMBER, or PATIENT NUMBER.
●  The ASSIGN PHOTO option opens a pick list of photos downloaded from the camera such that the correct photo can be assigned to the selected patient.
●  The REMOVE PHOTO has a submenu which allows the removal of the patient's currently assigned photo and DELETION OF THE PHOTO or MOVING IT BACK TO THE PICK LIST FOR REASSIGNMENT.
●  The DICTIONARY option opens a list of clinic managed terms and their definitions available to the staff to assist in phone communication with clients.
●  The RESET RABIES REMINDER TO 3 YEARS option resets the one or two years rabies reminder of the selected patient to three years.
●  The PRINT MAILING LABEL prints a mailing label to the patient in care of the client.
