Patient Merge

September 15, 2014

Merging involves two chart numbers that were created or duplicated for the same patient and blending them into one record.

This reduces the chance of sending duplicate appointment reminders, duplicate billings, and incorrectly scheduled appointments.

Be certain that the two records you choose for merging belong to the same patient, as merging permanently removes the secondary record you select.
