Edit/Enter New Client

The on-line help for the Edit Client and Enter New Client screens have been combined due to their similarity. Much of the information pertains to both screens. Read below to determine what applies to which screen.

The Edit Client screen is used to update or change information relating to any client who already exists in the system. In order to edit a client's information, the user must first locate the client in the system using the manage client screen.

The Enter New Client screen is used to enter a previously non-existing client into the system.

The steps taken to add a new client into the registry are virtually the same as when editing a client, except when you edit a client, you click the 'manage client' hyperlink and search for the client first. To enter a new client, follow these steps:

The five sections of the Edit/Enter New Client screen are listed below. Click on a link to view the explanation for that section. To make modifications to a client, change the desired information and then use one of the Functionality buttons to save the new information to the database.

Button	Description
	When the Save button is clicked, all information fields within the Personal Information Header, Client Information Tab, Contact(s) Tab, Client Symptom(s) Tab, and I/Q Follow-Up Tab are saved to the database. Before any client data is saved however, the registry will examine the contents of certain key information fields. If it is determined that any key field contains invalid data, the registry will display a message prompt with a brief description of the error. When it is determined that all key data is valid, the registry will post all of the client data to the database. To signal that the client data has been saved, the Edit Client screen will print "CLIENT UPDATED " in the title bar of the Personal Information Header while still remaining on the Edit Client screen.
	When the History/Recommend button is clicked, all information fields will be examined for validity then saved, just as if the Save button was clicked. Depending on your security, the full-featured VIIS Immunization History screen or the Print Restricted Access screen will be displayed so that immunizations in VIIS may be viewed. If you do not have IR access for the organization you are currently in for SNS or only have IR Reports Only access, you will just receive the Print Restricted Access screen.
	When the History Prophylaxis button is clicked, all information fields will be examined for validity then saved (just as if the Save button was clicked), and the View Client Prophylaxis screen will display so that the user may view the client's history of administered prophylaxis.
	When the Record Prophylaxis button is clicked, all information fields will be examined for validity then saved (just as if the Save button was clicked), and the Add Client Prophylaxis screen will be displayed so that the user may administer a new prophylaxis for the client.
	When the Reports button is clicked, all information fields will be examined for validity then saved (just as if the Save button was clicked), and you will be directed to the Client Reports screen. NOTE: This button will not display when you are entering a new client.
	When the Exposed Clients button is clicked, the system displays the Event for Exposed Client Listing screen. You may subsequently view the client's exposed client listing for a chosen event.
	When the Cancel button is clicked, the key data fields will not be examined for data validity, and the client data will not be saved to the database. Instead, the manage client screen will be displayed so that a search can be executed for a different client.
