Best practices

Always update phone numbers and email addresses when patients inform you of changes. This ensures you can reach them for appointment reminders and follow-ups.
Enter all known allergies in the Allergies field, separated by commas. This critical information appears prominently when prescribing medications.
When available, enter the patient’s CURP to ensure unique identification, especially for patients with similar names.
Before creating appointments or prescriptions, verify that the correct patient is selected by checking the highlighted name in the patient list.

Patient selection context

Once a patient is selected from the list, they become the “active patient” throughout the system. This selection:
  • Persists across different sections of the application
  • Is required before creating appointments, prescriptions, or clinical records
  • Is displayed prominently in the header or context area
  • Can be changed at any time by returning to the Pacientes section and selecting a different patient
If you attempt to access Clinical Evolution, Prescriptions, or Calendar without selecting a patient first, the system will prompt you to select a patient from the Pacientes section.
