3 Manage patients

A system administrator or location administrator can edit patient details after the patient registers, add patient groups, and edit patient groups.

Note:

To upload patient or group data in bulk, see Upload data on patients, groups, locations, or users in bulk.

• Edit patient registration details
  After patients register, you may need to modify patient details to ensure that Oracle Health Immunization Management users have all the details they need. For example, you may need change the contact email, add notes about providing certain accommodations, or add a guardian.
• Merge duplicate patient data
  After you register a patient or they register themselves, you may want to check for duplicate accounts. For example, if patients add themselves twice and many fields look similar (same name, email address, and birthday), the system registers it as a possible duplicate.
• Separate merged duplicate patient data
  If you review merged duplicate account information for patients and need to separate (unmerge) it, you can. For example, if you merged the patient data and later learned the data belongs to two different patients, you can separate the merged data.
• Add a patient group
  Administrators can add a patient group to Oracle Health Immunization Management. That way, you can sort patients in the system by placing them in the appropriate group.
• Edit a patient group
  Administrators and location administrators can edit the details of a patient group (or remove the group) at any time.
• Manage patients in a group
  Administrators can add one or more patients to a particular group or remove patients from a group.
