Working With the EDM for Sun Master Patient Index

Viewing a Patient’s Addresses

You can view the address information contained in a patient’s SBR or in any of the associated system records. You can perform several actions against the displayed patient profile, such as viewing a transaction history, modifying patient information, and so on (for more information, see Viewing a Patient’s Demographic Information).

A patient’s SBR contains the address information that is determined to be the most current and accurate information about that patient from all local systems. The system records associated with a patient profile contain the address information that is stored in the external systems that share information with the master index application. The information in a patient’s system records might not match the information stored in the patient’s SBR.
