Households

In your Dashboard, the Households dropdown menu can be accessible from the menu bar (H-1.1). From here, the user can either add a new household (H-1.2) or view households (H-1.3).

 

H-1: Household Menu

 


Viewing households

To view households, click on View Households (H-1.3) from the Household dropdown menu. The View Households page is shown below (H-2). This page is filtered by the first letter of the Household Name, and the filters are divided by every three letters, which can be chosen from the buttons highlighted in H-2.1. The grid that displays all households for the selected filter holds the following information:

  • What actions can be done for that household record (Action column)

  • The name of the household (Household Name column)

  • Who the head of the household is (Head of the household column)

  • The number of members in the household (No. of members in household column)

  • The linked record count (Linked record count column)

  • Who created the household record and when (Created By and Created On columns)

To view more information about a household, click on View Details (H-2.3) under the Action column.

Adding a new household

To add a new household, click Add New Household (H-1.2) from the Household dropdown menu. The Add New Household page is shown below (H-3). Once all necessary information has been entered, click on Save (H-3.2). After the new household has been saved, a success message will pop up in the bottom-right corner of the screen (H-4). This will also populate the Audit Information on the top of the page, as shown in H-5.1. The audit information shows who created and updated this household record and when this record was created and updated.

The only mandatory field in this page is the Household name (H-3.1). However, it is encouraged to fill in as much information as possible.

After clicking on the Add to household button, a window will pop up that will allow the user to select a household to add the patient to. Search for the household by the first letter of the household name from the filter at the top (H-10.1). Once the user has found the patient’s household, click on Add to this household under the Action column (H-10.2). The patient will now be part of this household.

Managing a household

Once a patient has been added to a household, the user can view the household and make any necessary changes to the household’s information, for example, their address, or the household name. To do this, the user can either:

  • Click on the Manage household button from one of the patients in the household’s Demographics page (H-11.1).

  • Click on View Details from the View Households page (H-2).

Whether the user manages the household from the patient’s Demographics page or from the View Households page, the Manage Households page will be the same. The screenshot shown below in H-12 is a pop-up of the Manage Households page from the patient’s Demographics page. Once the user has edited all necessary information, clicking on Save (H-12.1) will update this household’s information.
