Patient Management Overview in Invent Medical: Patient Records, Care Teams & Lifecycle Tracking

The Patient Management module is the central repository for all patient-related information within Invent Medical. It is designed to act as a 360-degree view of a patient’s health journey, ensuring that clinicians have accurate, up-to-date data at the point of care.

1. Patient Management Overview​

This module centralizes patient identity, contact details, insurance information, and historical medical data. By digitizing the patient record, Invent Medical eliminates physical file storage and ensures that health information is instantly accessible, searchable, and secure across your entire medical facility.

2. Key Features​

  • Comprehensive Profiles: Consolidated view of personal, demographic, and clinical data.
  • Smart Search: Retrieve patient records instantly using name, ID, phone number, or government-issued identification numbers.
  • Integrated Timeline: A chronological view of all previous encounters, diagnoses, treatments, and prescriptions.
  • Document Vault: Securely attach and retrieve lab results, imaging (DICOM), and signed consent forms.
  • Privacy Controls: Role-based access ensures sensitive patient data is only visible to authorized medical personnel.

3. Typical Workflow​

  1. Registration: Reception staff enters new patient data or updates existing profiles upon arrival.
  2. Identification: System validates the patient via ID or existing system records.
  3. Clinical Integration: Information flows from the Patient Profile directly into active encounters.
  4. Maintenance: Updates are made to allergies, medications, or contact details throughout the patient's relationship with the clinic.

4. Screens & Navigation​

  • Patient Index: The master list of all registered patients in the system.
  • Profile Header: Sticky navigation within a patient's file, showing their photo, age, primary doctor, and critical alerts (e.g., Blood type or allergies).
  • Navigation Tabs: Dedicated tabs for History, Encounters, Documents, Billing, and Treatment Plans.

5. Step-by-Step Usage Guide​

  1. Adding a New Patient: Click the "New Patient" button in the top navigation. Fill in the mandatory demographic fields and upload any initial documentation.
  2. Updating Records: Search for the patient in the main index. Select the profile and edit the relevant section (e.g., "Contact Details").
  3. Attaching Files: Navigate to the "Documents" tab and click "Upload" to attach new lab reports or imaging files.

6. Best Practices​

  • Standardize Data Entry: Ensure all staff use consistent formats for phone numbers and addresses to maintain database clean-up.
  • Verify Alerts: Always check the "Critical Alerts" section at the top of a profile before performing any clinical procedure.
  • Regular Audits: Periodically check patient records for duplicate entries or missing contact information.

7. Frequently Asked Questions​

  • Can I merge duplicate patient profiles? Yes, the system includes a "Merge Profiles" feature in the administration settings.
  • How secure is the data? All patient data is encrypted in transit and at rest, fully compliant with international medical privacy standards.

8. Troubleshooting​

  • Patient not found? Ensure you are searching by the correct identifier (e.g., National ID vs. internal clinic ID) or check the "Inactive/Archived" filter settings.
  • Unable to upload files? Verify that the file size is within the allowed limit and that the file format is supported by the system.
