If your practice uses Open Dental Clinics with YAPI's Clinics feature and a particular patient isn't appearing in your YAPI Dashboard, the patient may be checked into the wrong clinic location. You can use YAPI's Find Patient feature to see if the patient is, in fact, checked into another location and eject them from that location's Dashboard so that you can check them into yours instead.  To learn how, check out the steps below.

Finding & Ejecting a Patient from the Wrong Clinic Location

1. From the YAPI Dashboard, click Tools  and select Find Patient.

   • If you see the name of the patient: The patient is checked in at another location.  If you know that this patient completed forms that haven't been filed yet, we strongly recommend you reach out to the location they're checked in at and ask them to file the forms for you before moving to next step.  Once all forms have been filed, proceed to step 3 below.
