  2. Click the Edit button or pencil icon next to the field or section you want to change

  3. Modify the information as needed

  4. Click Save to apply the changes

Editable Fields

Depending on your organization's configuration and your role permissions, you may be able to edit:

  • Contact information – phone numbers, email address, mailing address

  • Demographics – date of birth, gender, preferred language, pronouns

  • Emergency contacts – name, relationship, phone number

  • Custom patient attributes – organization-defined fields such as insurance ID, referring provider, or health plan

Permissions

Not all users can edit all fields. Some fields may be:

  • View-only for certain roles

  • Restricted to administrators or designated data managers

If you cannot edit a field, contact your administrator to check your role permissions.
