Finding a client

Every client should have one profile in HMIS. To find their profile, click FIND CLIENT.

If you know your client's unique HMIS ID number, you can search by HMIS ID. Otherwise, you can search by first and last name. In some cases, a client's name might be spelled differently or they have previously used a nickname, so we recommend you search a few times. You can even search with just an initial or the first few letters of their name. You can always edit the client's name later if needed.

You will see the results of your search on the bottom of your screen. If you see your client, then click on their name.

If you still don't see your client, then launch an INTAKE workflow. The system will allow you to create a brand-new client from scratch.
