- A patient record gathers personal, contact, address, emergency-contact and employment details in one place.
- Attach files such as signed consent forms directly to the patient.
- Injury-specific documents you add later also show up here.
Open a patient to see their full record. It’s grouped into a few simple sections — fill in what you have now and come back for the rest any time. Only first name and last name are required to save.
Personal details
Who the patient is. The basics drive ACC claims, reminders and reporting:
- 1Name & title
First name and last name (required), plus an optional title.
- 2Date of birth & gender
Used across claims and clinical context.
- 3NHI number
The patient’s National Health Index number, e.g. ABC1234.
- 4Date of first visit & ethnicity
Recorded for reporting and ACC.
Contact
How you reach the patient. Add one or more phone numbers and mark a preferred number, plus an email. The SMS consent toggle controls whether reminders can go out by text.
Address
Search for an address, or enter it manually if it isn’t found.
Emergency contact
A name, relationship and phone number for someone to reach in an emergency.
Employment
The patient’s occupation and whether they’re in paid employment — relevant to ACC claims.
Attachments
You can attach files directly to a patient — most often a signed consent form, but any document that belongs to the person rather than a specific injury.
