Set up Practice Preference for Capitalization of OCR Demographic Data

Before you update and capitalize a patient’s demographics information through OCR, set up practice preferences.

  1. In File Maintenance, select Master Files > System or Document Management > Practices.
    The Practice List window opens.
  2. From the list of available practices, double-click a practice.
    The Modify Practice Information window opens.
  3. Select the Preferences button.
    The Practice Preferences window opens.

    You can also arrive at the Practice Preferences window from NextGen Enterprise PM > Admin > Preferences > Practice.

    When the OCR Title Case option is enabled at practice preference and a patient’s demographics data is scanned using driver license through a scanner, first letter of each field of the following scanned demographics information is displayed capitalized:

    • First Name
    • Middle Name
    • Last Name
    • Address 1
    • Address 2
    • City

    When the OCR Title Case option is not enabled at practice preference and a patient’s demographics data is scanned using driver license through a scanner, each letter of the scanned demographics information is displayed capitalized.
