Change an address
You can amend a patient's address in one of several ways, depending on whether the patient is staying with the practice, or moving away.
Patient is moving address, but staying with the practice, the same GP and the same HA
First edit the Main Address to the new address or use one of the Family Details household options. See Change of Address within practice area.
- This will generate an Amendment Transaction for Registration Links practices.
- For non-Registration Links practices, no other action is needed.
Patient changes address and moves to new HA but same GP
The patient has moved address, over the boundary to another HA or HB, but is staying with the same GP at the practice.
- This will generate an Amendment Transaction for Registration Links practices, and a Deduction from current TP and Acceptance on new TP. (See Address Change - Change HA /Same GP – Registration Links)
- For non-Registration Links, use the Change TP button on Registration. (See Address Change - Change HA/Same GP (Non-Registration Links))
Address Change Out of Practice Area
(see Address Change out of practice area) – this patient has moved address and will no longer stay with the practice. See Patients who die or remove out of practice area.
- For non-Registration Links practices, use Change Status button on Registration, then the Transferred Out reason of Removal to new TP/HB/CSA (see Remove a patient (Change Status) - Non-Reg. Links practices)
- For Registration Links practices, either wait for Deduction Transaction, or request Deduction (see Remove a patient – Reg. Links only)
