 =====Patient Information=====
+===Identifying Patients===
+--------------------------
+Every patient that is seen by the Hospital is assigned a unique Patient Identification Number, or Case Number. Case Numbers below 600000 are reserved for patients of the Small Animal Hospital, and Case Numbers above 600000 are reserved for patients of the Large Animal Hospital. Patients are also assigned a name, which is normally provided by the client, or the patient's owner. Their full names are a combination their name and their owner's last name. Both the case number and full name can be used to identify a patient and can be found in the "Case Card" section of medical records.

+The Patient Information Screen is the primary screen for accessing all information and records for a patient and can be accessed from the Quick Launch screen and the Patient Info menu.

+===Looking Up a Patient===
+--------------------------
+The Patient Info Screen contains two methods for looking up a patient. The first, and easiest, is to enter the the patient's Case Number directly in to the search field. If the Case Number is valid, the patient information is automatically loaded. If the Case Number is not valid, the text in the search field will turn red.
+{{ userdocs:intro:ch2:a4_validid.jpg?direct |Valid Case Number}}{{ userdocs:intro:ch2:a4_invalidid.jpg?direct |Invalid Case Number}}
+The second method is to use the Patient Search/Select screen, which can be accessed by clicking the blue search button next to the search field in the Patient Info screen. The search screen contains options to search by Case Number, Patient Name, and Client/Owner first and last names. Each option supports searching by partial values. A list patients matching the search criteria is shown below the search options. Selecting a patient in the search results and clicking the //OK// button will load the patient's information.
