DOB in patient search

Post by sam-I-am » Fri Apr 21, 2017 6:43 am

Perhaps it would be more useful having the date of birth in the patient search, rather than the SSN, or age...

It is common practice to ask someone on the phone, when they are calling a medical office, for their date of birth, You don't ask for their SSN, and you don't say "How old are you?"

If you mean "Select Patient", I have a Birthdate field there, 3rd from the bottom.
What version are you on?

Correct, date of birth is already available in the Patient Select window.

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
