How can you access the Emergency Contacts or Related Person(s) from the Clinical side?
Hi Lindsey! If you go into the patient's chart from the EHR > Summary page > Click Edit > then scroll down about halfway you will see a field that says "Related Persons" > click into that and you will see any existing emergency contacts or related person(s) and have the ability to add new ones if needed.
Thank you!
Can a patient add this themselves when they create their profile/at check-in? Can they edit this themselves at anytime via their patient portal?
