  Administrator     Care Provider  

📌 Overview

Before capturing any data using the Wound³ application, it's essential to add a patient to the system. We recommend adding the patient as soon as they are identified, generally at the time they are first onboarded to the application.

ℹ️ Note: Patient Users can be created through both the web and mobile applications. This guide focuses on the mobile application. To add a patient using the web application, follow these instructions.

✅ Prerequisites

Before adding a Patient User, ensure you have the following:

  • 🔑 Permissions Required: Facility Network Administrator, Facility Manager, or Provider User permissions for the respective Facility.
  • 🖥️ Access: Logged into the Wound³ mobile application.
  • 🧾 Patient Information:
    • Patient Name or ID
    • Email address (optional but recommended)
    • Phone Number (optional but recommended)

💡 Tip: If the patient is unable to provide their email address at the time of registration, you can add it later. An email address is required to send the patient a user invitation.

🧑‍⚕️🩺 Adding a Patient User

Follow these steps to add a new patient:

  1. 🔓 Log In: Access the Wound³ mobile application with your credentials.
  2. 🗂️ Navigate to Patient Management: On the bottom right of the screen, select the Manage Patients icon.
  3. Add New Patient: Click the plus button on the top right of the screen.
  4. 📝 Enter Patient Details:
    • Input the patient's name or ID.

    ℹ️ Note: In the web application, you had to specify a Provider user: in the mobile application, you will automatically be the assigned Provider. You can change this in the web app later.

    • (Optional) Provide the patient's email address and phone number.
  5. 💾 Save Information: After entering the details, scroll down and click Save to register the patient in the system.

ℹ️ Important: When creating a new patient profile, the patient's email address is optional but must be added for the patient to receive their user invitation. If a patient is unable to provide their email address during intake, leave the field blank, and then edit the profile when appropriate.
