You can view the demographic information contained in a patient’s SBR or in any of the associated system records for that patient. A patient’s SBR contains the demographic information that is determined to be the most current and accurate information about that patient from all local systems. By default, when the View/Edit page first appears, the Person page of the SBR is visible.
The system records associated with a patient profile contain the demographic information that is stored in the external systems that share information with the master index application. The information in a patient’s system records might not match the information stored in the patient’s SBR.
Using one of the search methods described in Searching for Patient Profiles, display the patient profile you want to view on the View/Edit page.
