Working With Records 11
PP8 is an image database program that stores
individual records in that database. Within a record
can be stored hundreds of individual posture exams.

A new record is created for each patient or
event. If you are doing spinal screenings outside the
office you simply name the record whatever name
that will identify it to you later. (Gold's Gym, June
1999).

Records are stored alphabetically, last name
first. The letter of the alphabet for the last name is
then added to the record index identifier.

To find a record, click on the first letter of their
last name, in the record index identifier.

Records can be retrieved by using the search
feature at the bottom of the screen. Begin entering
the name and the search feature will begin to nar-
row the search until the name is visible on the list.

To work within a record, simply highlight it. If it
is an existing record with exams, those exams will
appear as thumbnail images.

To delete a record, simply highlight the
record by clicking on it, and click on Remove
Record. You will be asked to verify this action.
When you select Yes, the record will be re-
moved.

TO ADD A RECORD

Click on Add record from the top of the
screen. The box on the right will appear.

Enter the patient's (Event) name, assign
an ID number (Optional) and any other notes
you want to associate with this record. Click on
Create to add this record to your list.

Records are added in alphabetical order. If you have a lot of records you may need
to use the Search feature to call up the record to begin working in it.

To edit record information, click on the INFO button at the bottom of the screen.
This will reopen the record information box. Make changes and select Update. Changes
will now be reflected for that record.
