Result Copy-Copying Results from Mother’s Record to Newborn’s Record
The Result Copy function allows a user to copy data from one patient’s medical record to another patient’s
medical record using the Result Copy Wizard. This functionality is intended for copying pertinent data from a
mother’s record to a newborn’s record shortly after delivery, but it can be done at any point when there are
results to copy.
Once the initial documentation has been done for the new baby, we will invoke the Result Copy functionality to
copy clinical information from the patient’s chart to her baby’s chart.
1. Open the mother’s chart.
2. From the mother’s chart, click the Result Copy icon from the toolbar.
3. Result Copy Wizard opens.
4. The Mother’s registration information will automatically populate the ‘Copy Data From’ box.
5. Notice that Baby A is the default selected Association Type. In the case of multiples, you will launch Result
Copy again for each baby and select the Association Type relevant to the infant you are copying to.
6. To populate the ‘Copy Data To’ box, click the Related Records button.

wrong encounter with the mother.

system knows what the new information to transfer is.
