In order to generate and obtain the Ocean patient reference number needed for a patient to complete their forms on a tablet, the patient must be first uploaded into Ocean. Patients are uploaded into Ocean from OSCAR by loading the Ocean eForm for that patient.
You can load the Ocean eForm for a patient in OSCAR from the Appointment Schedule or the Encounter screen.
- Click on the Ocean shortcut located on a patient's appointment on the OSCAR Schedule.
- This will open up the Ocean eForm in a new tab or window, uploading the patient into Ocean and generating a patient reference number for the patient.
- In the patient encounter window, select "eForms" from the options along the left.
- Within the eForms window, click "Show All" (under "View Group") and select the eForm named "Ocean".
- This will open up the Ocean eForm, uploading the patient into Ocean and generating a patient reference number for the patient (just like the Ocean shortcut on the appointment schedule).
