Deleting Telephone Numbers from a Patient Profile

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