Short answer

In Clinizy Care, press Ctrl+K (⌘K on a Mac) or press the search bar to find a patient by name, phone number or UHID, or to jump to any page you can use. Type bill, queue, book or rx before a name to start a task. Press ? to see every keyboard shortcut.

Before you start

  • Sign in to Clinizy Care first.
  • Have a patient’s name, phone number or UHID ready.

Steps

  1. Press Ctrl+K (⌘K on a Mac), or press the search bar at the top. On a phone, press the search icon.

    The search window with a name typed in and the matching patient shown below it.
    Step 1 of 7
  2. Type at least two letters of a name, the first digits of a phone number, or a full UHID like P-00123.

    Tip:Phone numbers match from the first digit. A UHID needs the whole code, starting with P-.

  3. Start a task by typing bill, queue, book or rx before the patient’s name, then press Enter on the result.

    The search window with “bill” and a name typed in, showing a New bill task for that patient at the top.
    Step 3 of 7

    Tip:Each task shows only when your role can do it and your plan includes it.

  4. Type a page name, such as billing, to jump to it. Matching help guides show up too.

  5. Use the up and down arrow keys to move, Enter to open a result and Esc to close.

  6. Press ? to see every keyboard shortcut. You can also open Help and support and choose Keyboard shortcuts.

    The Keyboard shortcuts list, grouped as Everywhere, Front desk and OPD, and Prescription builder.
    Step 6 of 7

    Tip:The ? key works when you are not typing in a box.

  7. Use F2 for a new OPD visit, F3 for a new bill, and / to jump to the search box on a page.

    Careful:F2 and F3 work only for roles that can add visits or bills.

If something goes wrong

What can I search for?

You can find patients by name, phone or UHID, pages from the menu, and help guides. You see only the pages your role can open.

Why does search not find my patient?

Type at least two characters. Type a phone number from its first digit, and a UHID in full, starting with P-. Check the spelling of the name too.

Who can use the F2 and F3 keys?

F2 starts a new OPD visit for reception, admins and nurses your clinic has allowed to add visits. F3 starts a new bill for roles that can create bills.
