Correct Unknown Patient Name

To identify a patient in uploaded study data, the Studycast system must have both the patient's name and date of birth. If the date of birth is missing, the patient's name will appear as "unknown."

To correct the name, start from the Studies page.
  1. Click the study ID for the patient's study. The Study Properties window appears.
  2. In the Patient Info section:
    1. If the patient is not already in the system, click the Create Patient button to create a new patient record.
    2. If the patient is in the system, click the dots (...) next to Lookup Patient and begin typing the patient's name. Matching names appear, and the list narrows as you type. Select the patient from this list.
  3. Click OK to save the change.
