The demographics window is accessed when the patient file is open. Click on the Patient Info icon in the far left column and the demographics window opens.
For Meaningful Use purposes, Medicare requires 5 specific demographic information items. This data is entered on the Patient Information window when the patient’s account is open.
Click on the drop down arrow and select each item.
Note that the selections for Race and Ethnicity are dictated by the government and are not modifiable. Although only 5 items are currently required for Meaningful Use, all the other demographic items are required by state law, insurance programs, or practical necessity.
