Add or Update Dispense Patient Details
From MedView Flow, you can search for patients in Fred Dispense Plus or Fred Dispense. The Update Patient forms allow you to add new patients or edit existing patient details directly from MedView Flow and save them in Dispense. This change is intended to streamline the patient registration process and reduce the need to toggle between MedView Flow and Dispense.
