Clinic Attendance

Use the Clinic Attendance module to record the numbers of consultations or encounters between a patient and doctor or other service provider, using predefined age and sex categories.

Clinic attendance is the total attendance by sex and age group for a period when a clinic was held and patients attended. This information is used to produce attendance reports.

Do not combine attendance for days that might need to be reported separately. For example, if monthly reporting is required, do not combine attendance for days in different months.

Attendance is recorded by sex and age in the following categories:

Male under five years of age
Female under five years of age
Male five to fourteen years of age
Female five to fourteen years of age
Male fifteen to fifty years of age
Female fifteen to fifty years of age
Male over fifty years of age
Female over fifty years of age

Clinic attendance is identified by place and date, that is, only one clinic attendance record can be recorded for a particular place and date.

To work with clinic attendance records:

To add a new clinic attendance record, click Add clinic attendance.
To change a clinic attendance record, double-click the required record and change the attendance values.
To delete a clinic attendance record, select the required record and click Delete clinic.
Note: Clinic attendance records are removed permanently from the database. If you delete in error, and a clinic actually occurred for the locality and date, add a new attendance record.
