Patient's Emergency Contact

Emergency Contact information for a patient can be configured by accessing the Family Quick Add modal and from within the Family/Contacts component. The following instructions are provided for the multiple ways the emergency contact can be added to the system.

• Family/Contacts that are setup as Primary are displayed with a star. See Example
• Only one family/contact can be setup as Primary.
• If there is a primary setup and you select another family/contact as primary, the original primary is automatically unchecked and thus overridden.
