Search for a patient

• Login to Touchstore Rx using the Start button or press F2 & type in the patient's name in the format SURNAME, FIRSTNAME

• If you only know part of the patient's name you can use SPACES or % to indicate a wildcard e.g. any sequence of characters can follow what you have entered

• E.G. JAM% will return anyone whose surname begins with JAM like _"JAMES" or "JAMESON"_

• You can either use the Arrows on the keyboard or the mouse to select the correct record

• If using the keyboard, press ENTER to open the patient record you selected

• The PMR Console will now open the selected patient's file
