Home Forums Discussions Feedback and Recommendations divorced parents, two addresses

I'm a pediatrician, and I'd like to be able to enter the Patient name in the usual place, but also to have the ability to enter parent names (since they are the people I speak to on the phone) along with an adress/set of phone numbers for each. I have patients who spend one week with one and then one week with the other.

Absolutely!!! Great idea. We here in Family practice have that too, with the addition of elderly pts who can not speak for themselves, have POA's and various children in the mix, bill this one, talk to the other one about medical issues, the patient lives in an assisted living place, while we still need to communicate with their adult children and or POA's. Sometimes we could use more than one extra place for all this stuff. Great Idea.

Now that you mention it, I have much more data that I can handle with contact information. Indeed, most of us have phones and faxes at home and work, at least one--I have 2--cell phones, several email addresses, maybe a couple of physical addresses, and seperate mailing addresses. Even my pediatric patients have grandparents, step-parents, older siblings with all of these. I don't know an organized way to handle this.

I scan it and call it alternate contact list in the imported section.
