View Patient Profile
Purpose
The View Patient screen is the central hub for patient care within the system. It appears immediately after a new patient is registered and can also be accessed anytime through Search.
This screen consolidates identifiers, demographics, care plans, vaccination records, growth charts, conditions, and clinical history into one place — reducing the need to jump between modules.
Navigation
From the sidebar, select Patients.
Choose a patient using Search or Register.
Click View Patient.
After registration, the system automatically opens this view so staff can confirm the patient’s information and care pathway before moving on.
Patient Header
The pinned header displays key identifiers and demographic highlights that remain visible no matter which tab is open:
Name, gender, date of birth with calculated age
Address
IIS Unique ID and Notice of Birth Serial Number (or Barcode Sticker ID, depending on jurisdiction)
Immediate family members such as the mother, with contact details
Print QR button for scannable quick lookup in future visits
The patient header is critical for preventing errors by ensuring staff always know which record they are working in.
Conditions (includes Current Status Observations)
The Conditions panel — also referred to in the Customize View list as Current Status Observations — records both diagnosed conditions and status-based health observations. This unified panel captures patient-specific health data such as developmental disabilities, pregnancy status, and HIV results, allowing care providers to view clinical statuses directly from the View Patient screen.
Purpose
This panel provides a concise summary of a patient’s ongoing or relevant conditions. It supports both structured selections (coded lists) and free-text entries, ensuring that important health statuses are visible at a glance.
Examples include:
Chronic or developmental conditions
Pregnancy status
HIV status
Allergies or adverse events
Other long-term observations
Location on Screen
For children, appears below Growth Trends.
For adults, appears directly after the Patient Header.
If no entries are recorded, the panel is hidden automatically.
Examples of Display

Summary
The Conditions / Current Status Observations panel provides a single view for tracking both diagnosed health conditions and status indicators. It ensures that key patient information — including developmental, pregnancy, and HIV statuses — is visible for every provider involved in care.
Dashboard Panels
The dashboard is the default tab and combines multiple panels central to day-to-day care.
Vaccination Card
Displays the patient’s immunization schedule in grid format with clear indicators for overdue, completed, and scheduled vaccines. Interactive design helps staff identify what to administer today and plan upcoming visits.
Care Pathways / Plans
Shows which carepath(s) the patient is enrolled in (e.g., Healthy Baby / Child Carepath).
Displays scheduled interventions with due dates and administration methods.
Re-Compute updates the plan when patient data changes.
Leave withdraws a patient from the carepath when appropriate.
Identification
Lists all official identifiers such as:
Notice of Birth Serial Number
IIS Barcode Sticker ID
IIS Unique ID
Staff can add identifiers as needed but should not overwrite existing ones.
Growth Trends
Plots weight and height against age in months with shaded growth zones. Useful during child health visits to confirm whether growth is within expected range.
Demographics
Displays the full patient profile:
Name, date of birth, gender, address, birthplace, nationality, citizenship
Relatives (starting with the mother) including age, gender, and contact details
Both patient and relative details can be edited when corrections are needed.
Current Visit
The Current Visit tab appears only when an encounter is active.
If a visit is active, open Current Visit to view details.
When the visit is finished, close the encounter.
Closed encounters automatically move to Clinical History.
Clinical History / Visit History
Provides a chronological timeline of past encounters. Each entry shows visit type, duration, provider, facility, and status.
