Patient Valuables

Important: Before recording patient valuables, the patient must already have an admission created in the Inpatient or Residential module.

Video Tutorial:


Getting There: 

The Patient Valuables page is located in both the Residential Module and the Inpatient Module. First: navigate to whichever of the two you are using.




Next, you will need to switch from "Card View" to "Grid View". There is a button to do this located below the "Upcoming eMARs" table.



After switching to Grid View, scroll to the patient whose valuables you are entering and use the Action dropdown to select "Patient Valuables". This will bring up the Patient Valuables fields toward the bottom of the page and Axiom will automatically scroll down to it.
