Adding Telephone Numbers to a Patient Profile

If a patient submits additional telephone information, you might need to add a new telephone record to the SBR or to the affected system record. You can only add one telephone number of each phone type to each SBR or each system record.

To Add a Telephone Number to 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. Do one of the following:

   • To add a telephone number to the SBR, select Phone under SBR in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

   • To add a telephone number to a system record, select Phone under that system record in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

3. Enter the new telephone information in the fields in the right portion of the page (for more information, see About Telephone Fields on the Patient EDM).

4. In the lower left portion of the page, click Add Phone.

5. Click Commit.

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

   Note –

   If you added the telephone number to the SBR, all fields in the telephone record are automatically locked, and will not be updated by incoming system messages until they are unlocked.
