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

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

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

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

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