Electronic Pre-Registration
If you have a Children's Hospitals and Clinics appointment for surgery, radiology or
St. Paul Special Diagnostics services, you can now pre-register in CMO when you add the appointment.
Your existing CMO details are automatically pulled into the new electronic pre-registration form:
- Patient information
- Doctor/clinic information
- Guardian information
- Emergency contact information
- Insurance information
You can also add new CMO information, or update existing CMO data, as you complete the pre-registration.
When the appointment pre-registration is complete:
- The pre-registration is automatically submitted to the appropriate Children's Admitting
department (St. Paul, Minneapolis or West)
- Your new appointment record in CMO includes the pre-registration submission
date and time
When Admitting receives the pre-registration, they will call the patient's guardian (identified on the pre-registration)
to confirm that the pre-reg was completed.
