Responsible Party Section

The Responsible Party section of the Patient Overview screen gives detailed information about the responsible party associated with the patient. You can edit this information by clicking Edit. Any of the responsible party's contact information can be edited here. However, if he or she is a patient, it is better to use the Edit Patient Information screen to apply changes to the responsible party.

See Introduction to Patient Records to learn more about responsible parties.

If a consent form that has been set in Form Tracking is not signed, then an exclamation mark appears next to the Responsible Party title if the consent form was addressed to the responsible party. Clicking on the exclamation mark opens the Patient Consent Letter(s) window. You can send consent letters to the responsible party by selecting the consent letters and clicking Email To Resp Party.
