Can't Search Patient by Name

If you cannot search for a patient by first or last name, you can always search by identifier (NHI, Medicare or DVA).

If you are a prescriber and cannot search for a patient by first or last name, there are a few options:

1. If a prescribing colleague is able to search for the patients by first or last name that you wish to, you can add them as a colleague. You can find out more about how to add colleagues at: Settings - Prescriber access.
2. If you are the prescriber for many patients at a facility using MediMap, you can request a facility member that has manager level of access to add you as an associate prescriber if this is appropriate. They can action this by following the guide at: How to associate a prescriber.
3. If you are the lead prescriber for the patient, you can either review the chart or edit the chart and add yourself as the lead prescriber. Then you will be able to search for the patient by first or last name.
   1. To review the chart, you can click on the green "reviewed" button in the top right corner.
   2. To edit the chart and add yourself as the lead prescriber, you can click on "edit", then click on the name of the current prescriber:
      
      
      
      and select yourself in the drop down:
      
      
      
      Once you have clicked save, you will be the lead prescriber on the chart.
