Veona Register

import { Steps } from ‘@astrojs/starlight/components’;

What this is

Veona Register is the front-desk patient registry. It captures a patient through a seven-step wizard and, on completion, mints a UHID (Unique Health ID — Veona’s lifelong patient identifier, formatted VNA-…). It also backs the master patient index: finding existing patients, detecting and merging duplicate records, and grouping dependents into households.

Who uses it: front_desk and intake_admin create and update registrations (they hold register.write / register.manage). queue_operator, scheduler, clinician, and nurse hold read-only register.read so they can resolve a patient without editing the record.

Editions

Register is included in every edition — Health Centre, Hospital, Network, and Public Health. It is the standalone foundation other modules depend on.

Register a new patient

The wizard at New Registration has seven steps: Demographics, Contact, Payer, Next of kin, Clinical, Consent, Review.

1. From Dashboard (or Find Patient), select Register patient to open New Registration.

2. On step 1 · Identity & demographics, enter the required fields — Surname, First name, Date of birth, Sex — plus any optional demographics.

3. Select Continue to move through 2 · Contact & address, 3 · Payer & insurance (pick a scheme from the Search the insurer / HMO directory picker for non-self-pay), 4 · Next of kin & emergency contact, 5 · Clinical baseline, and 6 · Consent & documents.

4. On step 7 · Review & assign UHID, check the summary and select Assign UHID & save. The patient is created and the UHID is shown.

Note

You can select Save draft at any step to persist a partial registration and resume it later from the patient index. Patient photo capture is offered on the final step, once the UHID is assigned, and is stored encrypted (PHI).

Find a patient

1. Open Find Patient.

2. Type into the Search by name, UHID, or phone box.

3. On a result row, select Open to open the patient profile, or Card to print a registration card. Use Print cards / Export for a selected set.

Resolve duplicates (merge)

Caution

A merge is irreversible: the duplicate record becomes a permanent alias of the surviving record. Confirm the two rows are truly the same person before merging.

1. Open Duplicates.

2. Select Run scan to refresh the duplicate-candidate list, or filter the existing Open candidates.

3. Open a candidate pair, choose which record to keep, and confirm the merge. The other record becomes an alias of the survivor.

4. If a pair is not a duplicate, Dismiss it instead.

Create a household

1. Open Households.

2. In Register a household, name the household and pick the Head of household from the patient picker (a registered patient, not free text).

3. Select Create household.

4. Add dependents to the household from the add-member form on the household row.
