Deleting an Alias from a Patient Profile

If an existing alias name for a patient is no longer valid or was entered in error, you can delete the obsolete alias from the affected system record. Once an alias is deleted from a patient profile, the deletion cannot be undone.

To Delete an Alias 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. Select Alias under the appropriate system record in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

3. Under the Alias node, select the alias you want to remove.

4. In the lower left portion of the page, click Remove Alias.

5. Click Commit.

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