Accessing the Patient Merge Tool

The Patient Merge tool is not accessible from within the Bluechip application itself. Rather, it is located in the Tools folder of the Bluechip installation location folder.

Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Health Communication Network\Bluechip\Tools

Tip:

To make it easily accessible, create a shortcut to the Patient Merge tool on your Microsoft Windows desktop.
