Adding a New Rhythm Patient
*Please note the screenshots and information in this article contains fake PHI*
When a Rhythm patient transmits their first remote transmission to the Rhythm360 portal, a profile is automatically created for them. However, you may need to occasionally create a patient profile manually. Follow these steps to manually add a patient profile to Rhythm360:
- Login to the Rhythm360 portal for the patient's clinic.
- In the left navigation menu, hover over Add New and select Patient.
- A new window will appear, displaying a form for creating a new patient profile. Fill out the form using the patient's information, the required fields have a red * (Patient Name, Date of Birth, and Clinic Patient ID)
- If you need to remove the requirement for the Clinic Patient ID field, you can do so by having an Admin user click Settings > General > Require Clinic Patient ID and clicking disable.
4. Once all of the required information has been filled out, click Continue. This will create the patient and open a window for devices to be added.
5. Select the type of device with Data Type, in this case, a Rhythm Device and more fields to fill out will appear.
6. Select the patient's Device Type, Manufacturer, Model, enter in the Date of Implant, Reason for Implant, and Serial Number. Once you have confirmed the information is correct, click Add New Device. This will add the device to the right hand side and other devices can be added as needed.
7. A new window will appear, asking if you would like to set up a report schedule. If Yes, Setup is selected, you can schedule either Heart Failure checks, Device Checks, or both. You can also setup a schedule by navigating to "Manage Devices" and selecting "Report Scheduling" under the respective device name.
8. If you are unable to add the device information, you can add a device by clicking Manage Devices on the patient page. Follow steps 5 & 6 to add the device at that time.
Alternatively, you can create a new patient when you upload a Transmission. Follow the steps in the article How to Upload Remote Transmissions to do so.
