Adding Patients with Shared Email Addresses in Patient Studio

Patient Studio allows patients to share email addresses, a common scenario for families. Here’s how to manage it:

  1. Enter Patient Information: Navigate to Add New Patient and complete the required fields (e.g., name, date of birth, and email address).

  2. Handle Duplicate Emails: If the email address is already in use (e.g., for a spouse or child), the system will notify you.

  3. Create a Family Link: Check the box to confirm, and the new patient will be linked to the existing record as part of the same family.

This setup ensures shared access to records via the portal.
