Adding a Comment to a Patient Profile

If you need to record additional information about a patient, you can add a comment to the patient’s profile, either in the SBR or a system record. Comments can include any information that you feel is relevant for the patient profile, such as a reason for deactivating a profile, notes about possible duplicate profiles, and so on.

To Add a Comment 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 comment to the SBR, select Comment under SBR in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

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

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

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

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