About Contact Manager
Path: Practice Management tab > Contact Manager button
The Contact Manager displays all of your practice's contacts in a window that is easy to navigate and sort. From here you can view all of your contacts. These contacts are displayed in the Family Contacts section of the Patient Chart.
If a new contact is entered but contains the same information of an existing contact when registering a new patient that is a sibling to another established patient, this creates a duplicate that needs to be merged in order to link the family member.
Warning: Duplicate contacts entries also adversely affect the contact information being sent to the Patient Portal. |
