Deleting Addresses from a Patient Profile

If an address for a patient is entered incorrectly or the patient no longer uses an existing address, you can delete the obsolete address from the affected system record. Once an address is deleted from a patient profile, the deletion cannot be undone.

ProcedureTo Delete an Address From a Patient Profile

  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. To delete an address from a system record, do the following:

    1. Select Address under the appropriate system record in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

    2. Under the Address node, select the address type of the address you want to remove.

    3. In the lower left portion of the page, click Remove Address.

  3. To delete an address from the SBR, deselect the overwrite check boxes for all field in the address.


    Note –

    You can only delete an address from the SBR if it was originally added directly to the SBR.


  4. Click Commit.

    The page refreshes, and the SBR is recalculated based on the new information.
