The new Responsible / Contact window allows users to create and edit information for people associated with the patient and define the different roles they fulfill.
The + button on the card opens the New Responsible / Contact window, while the pencil opens the same window as Edit Responsible / Contact.
- The window includes the person’s roles, relationship to the patient, name, email, phone numbers with extensions, sex, date of birth, Social Security number, address, and notes.
- The same person can have multiple roles: Legal Guardian, Healthcare Proxy, Power of Attorney, Guarantor, Emergency Contact, Involved in Treatment, School Contact, and Care Coordination.
Each role in the dropdown includes a help icon explaining its purpose. The explanation can be viewed by hovering over the icon without selecting the role.
This keeps each person’s information and their different patient-related roles together in a single record.
