Entering Doctor Data - "Consistency counts" Most data fields are "wysiwyg" ... what you see is what you get. Enter doctors' names in a way that makes sense for you. However, consistency is important because the Health Profiles keeps a mini-database so you only need to enter a doctor's name once. From that point, you can point and click to select a doctor's name from a drop down list.
However if you enter a doctor's name in five different ways, for example:
Dr. J. Doe,
Doe, J.,
J. Doe, MD,
John Doe, MD,
Dr. John Doe,
you will have made five (5) different records for the same doctor. Health Profileswill still work. It just won't be as convenient. You can always make corrections and delete unwanted records. It is best to decide in what format you want to enter doctor's names and be consistent.
