Patient Search

You can use Ask Oracle to search for patients in Oracle Health EHR.

Note:

You can search for a patient in Ask Oracle using voice commands or by typing. See Ask Oracle User Guide for more information about conversational searching.

To search for a patient:

1. Begin your search by entering a conversational prompt in Ask Oracle such as, "Find [name]," "Search [name]," or "Look up [name]." In addition to name, you can search or include attributes to deliver more precise search results, for example, "Find [name] [MRN]."
   1. Select the Open Preview button to view additional information on the patient.
   See Searching Options for more information. The Patient Search page is displayed with results based on best-match logic.
   • A maximum of 100 results is returned.
   • Exact and close matches are displayed first.
   • Historical names are included in the search results.
2. Expand the applicable Future visits, Today's visits, and Past visits grouping and select a visit.
   When you select a patient, a list of their visits and appointments is displayed.

   Note:

   The Future visits, Today's visits, and Past visits groups are initially collapsed when you access the Visits and Appointments page. If the patient does not have any visits that qualify for a grouping, for example, no future visits have been scheduled, then that grouping is not displayed.
3. Select the applicable tab to view information about the encounter or appointment.
4. Select Open Encounter to open that encounter in the patient's chart. Alternatively, select Open in the Visit column for the applicable visit.

Once you have performed an initial search, the Patient Search tab is added next to other open tabs. Select the Patient Search tab to perform additional searches or you can close the tab and start a new search using Ask Oracle.
