Sending Forms to a Kiosk

Forms can be sent to any MacPractice computer in Kiosk Mode from any other MacPractice computer that's not in Kiosk Mode.

First, you'll need to generate a patient form for this patient. You can do this by first selecting the patient you wish to send a form to with the Patient Selector, then select the template in the EDR/EMR Sidebar. Click the Green Plus button within the sidebar. Repeat the process for all forms you'll want to send this patient. 

Once you have the forms, you can send a form by first clicking the Patient Forms node, selecting the Patient, then navigating to the EDR/EMR menu and click "Send Form to Kiosk Machine". This option is only available if a MacPractice computer is in Kiosk Mode on the office's network.

 The The Send to Kiosk Machine window allows you to select which Kiosk computer to send a form to, and what forms to send. The Kiosk Computer table will list all Kiosk computer names and their IP addresses. To send Patient Forms, simply drag the forms from the EMR/EDR Sidebar to the Forms table in the window. Once you're satisfied with which forms you'd like to send, you can click the Send to Kiosk button to send the forms.
