•Search for the patient record by entering the first letters of the family name in the "search patient" data field of the initial window.

•The following data are essential:

o(Family) name, first name, birthday and sex.

•Be very careful while changing these personal data - do so only if you are 100% sure, that the patient you want to enter is really the patient you found in the database and that data in the database have to be corrected.

•You can either search directly for the patient (family) name, or indirectly, by entering a (sub-) string characteristic for the patient (i.e. (family) name, first name, address) in the "filter" data field and pressing the button "activate filter". In this latter case you will get a subset of all patient records complying with your search criterion in the drop down list of the patient search field.
