Maintaining Address Information in a Patient Profile

You can add, modify, and delete addresses in a patient profile. If you make any of these modifications to the system record, the survivor calculator determines what changes, if any, should be made to the SBR. You can only modify information in the SBR if you have overwrite permissions.

Adding Addresses to a Patient Profile

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

To Add an Address 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 an address to the SBR, select Address under SBR in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

   • To add an address to a system record, select Address under that system record in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

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

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

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