The Search by Profile option allows you to search for patients by date of birth, medical record number, and last name. Additional options allow you to add patients to your watch list, assign a hospitalist, and add a Care Team Event Notification for patients displayed.

To access Search by Profile, go to Charts > Search by Profile. In the Search By field, use the drop-down to select the appropriate option: Date of Birth, Medical Record #, or Patient Name. Then, begin typing in the search field. Matching results are displayed. Double-click the desired patient to select it, displaying the visits associated with the selected patient. Or, highlight the desired patient name and select View Visits from the action bar. Your selections in the Search by field are "sticky" so that when you return to this page, the options you previously selected are saved. This also applies for the Search by fields on the Tracking Board > New Patient and Temporary Registration screens.
