The patient's general information includes the patient's photo, name and preferred name; these elements are non-configurable. You can configure other demographic and non-demographic information to display on the Patient Information Card (PIC). You can configure the locations where various types of data points are displayed, including: date of birth, age, gender, preferred pronouns, address, contact information, marital status, spouse name, number of children, and smoking history, to name a few.
Important: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) information is unprotected and visible to any user by default. The system administrator can configure the protected content settings in the
Enterprise Preferences window in File Maintenance, which makes the patient's SOGI information appear as
Protected Content in
NextGen® Enterprise EHR. To view such protected content as a user, you require adequate security permissions. For more information on protected content, go to
NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the latest
File Maintenance Preferences Guide forNextGen®Enterprise.
When you hover over the patient name, a tooltip appears displaying the patient's preferred name, birth sex, preferred gender, primary insurance, and primary contact (Contact1).
If you select the patient name link, the Modify Patient Information window opens.
