Verifying patient data

Best practice: Mark that you have verified a patient’s data each time that you enter or change the patient’s demographic information.

You can mark that you verified patient data using one of the following methods:

On the Name/Addr/Phone tab in the Patient Maintenance window

When you mark the patient as arrived for an appointment from the scheduler.

Optionally, you can also verify patient demographics with MSP (see Verifying patient PHNs with MSP).
