Title:

Manage Patient Demographics

Description:

STATEMENT: Capture and maintain demographic information. Where appropriate, the data should be clinically relevant and reportable.
DESCRIPTION: Contact information including addresses and phone numbers, as well as key demographic information such as date of birth, time of birth, gestation, gender, and other information is stored and maintained for unique patient identification, reporting purposes and for the provision of care. Patient demographics are captured and maintained as discrete fields (e.g., patient names and addresses) and may be enumerated, numeric or codified. Key patient identifiers are shown on all patient information output (such as name and ID# on each screen of a patient's record). The system will track who updates demographic information, and when the demographic information is updated.
