Modifying Demographic Information in a Patient Profile

If a patient’s demographic information changes, you can update the patient’s information in either the SBR or the affected system record. If you update the system record, then the survivor calculator determines what changes, if any, should be made to the SBR. You must have overwrite permissions to update the SBR directly.

To Modify Demographic Information

1. Using one of the search methods described in Searching for Patient Profiles, display the patient profile you want to modify on the View/Edit page.

2. Do one of the following:

   • To modify the SBR, select Person under SBR in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

   • To modify a system record, select Person under that system record in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

3. Modify the fields in the right portion of the page (for more information, see About Demographic Fields on the Patient EDM).

4. If you are working in the SBR, select the overwrite check box to the left of the field for each field you modify.

5. When you are done modifying information, click Commit.

   The page refreshes, and, if you modified a system record, the SBR is recalculated based on the new information.
