Creating a patient from an appointment

When creating an appointment, you can register a new patient inline by selecting "New Patient" in the patient section. In this case, you provide basic information (first name, last name, DNI, phone), and the patient record is created automatically when the appointment is saved.

You can then complete the full patient profile from the patient details page.
