Set up Modify Patient Trigger

The Modify Patient action triggers the display of the Update Patient Information window in NextGen® Enterprise EHR at run time.

From the Modify Patient Information window, you can edit patient demographics and other information. The History tab of the window lists the changes you make. If you change the patient's name, the new name appears on the Title bar of the NextGen® Enterprise EHR main window. The Title bar also displays changes to the patient's date of birth, medical record number, gender, and Social Security number if practice preferences are set to display these fields.

A Modify Patient option is also available on the File menu in the NextGen® Enterprise EHR application. For more information, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community and download the latest Patient Demographics User Guide for NextGen® Enterprise.
