Viewing Patient Profiles

The View/Edit page displays patient profiles in a series of pages you can select and view. Each page except the Person page displays the same four fields in the upper portion to help you identify the patient. These fields are First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, and Gender. You can view information contained in both the SBR and any associated system records.

The following topics provide the instructions you need to view information associated with a patient profile.

Viewing a Patient’s Demographic Information

You can view the demographic information contained in a patient’s SBR or in any of the associated system records for that patient. A patient’s SBR contains the demographic information that is determined to be the most current and accurate information about that patient from all local systems. By default, when the View/Edit page first appears, the Person page of the SBR is visible.

The system records associated with a patient profile contain the demographic 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.
