Linked Patients Tab

Often it is desirable to link two patients together rather than merging them. PowerReader has the capability to link two or more patients together. The patients can be linked in the Linked Patients tab of the Patient Registration form. Any two patients who are stored with different Issuer of Patient ID values can also be linked in this way.

To add a patient in the Linked Patient tab, enter a few letters in the Last Name field. A drop-down menu with similar names will open up. Choose the desired patient. Save OK to save the changes. For further information about linking patients, refer to the section Linking Patients
