Duplicate Patient Records

You can merge duplicate patient records.

When you merge records, the demographic data of the primary patient is retained. The following demographic data is not merged:

Patient Name
Gender
File No
Phone Number
Address

All other information such as accounts, appointments, scanned documents, recalls and so forth, are copied from the source patient record (i.e. the patient to merge) and appended to the primary patient record.
