What is Auto Registration?

Auto registration will automatically confirm that a PATCHS patient is registered at your practice by matching their details in the Docman database.

Auto registration is available to practices who are using Docman10 and can be enabled by the Advanced team.

How will I know that auto registration has been successful?

When a patient registers to use PATCHS, auto registration will use their details to find them in the Docman database.  When a unique match is found, the patient's registration status at your practice will be updated their NHS number will be confirmed.

What will I see?

When auto registration is in use at your practice you will see: 

  • the patients registration status
  • an auto registration warning

This will be visible in the following places:
