This page appears if you click the Aliases button on the Edit Patient: Patient Tab page.

The Patient Aliases page allows you to add, edit, or delete aliases for the selected patient.

Note that you must have the necessary security settings in order to add, modify, or delete aliases. See Configuring Harvest Webstation: Establishing Security Settings for more information. If you don't have the necessary security settings, the Patient Aliases opens in read-only mode.

Adding, Editing, or Deleting Patient Aliases

1. Enter the alias details in the First name, Middle name, and Last name fields. To edit an existing alias, click on a name in the list. Harvest Webstation displays the details in the name fields for you to modify. The Date added and Origin fields are read-only. Harvest Webstation assigns all new and edited aliases a "Date added" value equal to the current date.

Note that you may not add aliases to a new patient record that has not been saved.

2. Click the Clear button at any time to clear the name fields, if desired.
3. When you are finished editing the patient alias, click the Save button to save the alias and add it to the list.
4. To remove a patient alias from the list, click the corresponding Delete button. Harvest Webstation deletes the alias.
5. When you are finished creating and editing aliases for the patient, click the X button to close the page.

Note that Harvest Webstation identifies aliases in patient search results by appending an asterisk to the name.
