Changing 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 household options, see Change of Address within practice area and same TP for details.

Registration Links practices - This generates a Registration Links - Amendment Transaction.
Non-Registration Links practices - No action is required.

Patient changes address and moves to new HA but same GP

The patient has moved address, over the boundary to another TP, but is staying with the same GP at the practice.

Registration Links practices - This generates a Registration Links - Amendment Transaction, a Deduction from the current TP and Acceptance for the new TP, seeAdding and Maintaining Patient Addresses for details.
Non-Registration Links practices - From the Registration tab, select Change TP, see Adding and Maintaining Patient Addresses for details.

Address Change Out of Practice Area

(see Address Change out of Your 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 (seeRemove a patient - Reg. Links only )

You can change the address for one or more member of a family from the Family tab, see Family Tab for details.

Patient moves from one existing household to another

From the Registration - Family tab, addresses can be changed using Move to another family, see Family Tab for details.
