Viewing a Patient’s Aliases

You can view the alias names contained in a patient’s SBR or in any of the associated system records. You can perform several actions against the displayed patient profile, such as viewing a transaction history, modifying patient information, and so on (for more information, see Viewing a Patient’s Demographic Information).

A patient’s SBR contains the alias names from all of the associated system records, and any alias names that were added specifically to the SBR. The system records associated with a patient profile contain the alias 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.
