# Patient Register

The **Patient Register** screen in Unite EMR facilitates the registration of new patients and the updating of existing patient details. Upon completing a new patient registration, a unique Patient PIN (Patient Identification Number) is generated, enabling the tracking of the patient's status throughout their healthcare journey. Additionally, users can view and print the patient’s history, as well as record important information such as the Acknowledgement Form, Activity Log and VIP status.

## Overview

The top section of the screen includes a **Search** Field and an **ADD NEW PATIENT** button, enabling staff to easily locate registered patients and to add a new patient. The screen is organized into sections labeled **Recently Added**, **Recently Edited**, and **Recently Searched**, displaying patients along with key details like Profile Photo, Patient PIN, and Name. Additionally, different colors are used to distinguish between Cash and Insurance patients.

In the **Recently Added** and **Recently Edited** sections, the screen also shows the last user activity, including Username, Date, and Time of changes. To update a patient’s record, staff can click on any entry in these sections. The **Medical Tourism Visit** toggle is maintained from **Patient Register** and its status is used across **Scheduler**, **Patient Queue**, and **Medical Records**.
