Draft: Resolve "bug/Unable to register next patient after assigning doctor in camp registration"

Vandana reddy Balannagari requested to merge 303-bug-unable-to-register-next-patient-after-assigning-doctor-in-camp-registration into main

Overview

This MR fixes an issue in the patient registration module where the system incorrectly detected an existing patient when registering a new book number.

Previously, when a patient was registered and assigned to a camp, the system redirected back to the registration page but still showed the previous patient data when entering a new book number.

This fix ensures that the correct patient lookup is performed based on the entered book number and that the registration form state is reset properly.

What does this MR do and why?

The issue occurred because the patient lookup logic and frontend state were not properly resetting after a successful registration.

As a result:

  • The system incorrectly showed "Existing Patient Found" for new book numbers.
  • Previous patient data remained in the form.

This MR fixes the issue by ensuring:

  • Correct patient lookup based on the entered book number
  • Proper resetting of registration form state after successful registration
  • Accurate display of patient information

Changes Made

  • Fixed patient lookup logic during registration
  • Ensured correct book number is used for patient search
  • Reset patient registration form state after successful registration
  • Prevented previously loaded patient data from appearing for new book numbers
  • Updated related components handling patient registration workflow
