Add Nursing Home or Residential Institute

The Residential Institute is an important field for Registration Links in England & Wales. On a patient's Registration record, the RI code (1 or 2 characters) can be recorded as a code.

The RI code is issued by the health board - you don't make it up. You should contact the organisation in which the residential institute is based. They can provide the list of codes which you will need to add to patients' Registration screens.

  1. From Control Panel, select File Maintenance and click on Organisation or the Organisation tab.
  2. To add, either:
    • Right click on Residential Institute and select Add Organisation.
    • Select the yellow folder by Residential Institute on the list of organisations so that it is opened then click on Add .
    • Select the arrow to the right of Add , select Add Organisation, and select Residential Institute.

See Organisation Details, Identifiers, Address and Contact Numbers and Save Details for further details.
