Patient Family Members

[Adapted from RxOne Help Revised Oct 01]

A family can consist of any number of patients, with any number of names, from any number of addresses.

Adding Family Members 

To Add family members:

  • From the Patient screen select Edit

  • Cursor down to Family Members

  • Press the right cursor arrow to bring up the choices of Add member or Delete member, choose  Add, and select the patient to be added.

  • Linking two patients who were not in a family before creates a new family.

  • Linking two patients, one who is already in a family and one who is not, attaches the separate person to the family no matter which direction it is done.

  • Linking two people who are already in separate families merges those two families.

Deleting Family Members
