Add Family

Adding a new family is done from the Select Patient window.   This is not the same as adding a family member to an existing family. You are not allowed to add a new family until you have done a search to see if the family already exists.  In the select patient window, there are two buttons for adding a family.  The "Add Pt" button lets you add one new patient. 

(there is no screenshot here for Add Pt, because that simply takes you to the Patient Edit window.)

Alternatively, the "Add Many" button lets you add an entire family at once:

There is quite a bit of intelligence and automation built into this window.  It will tell you if you are missing any required information before closing.
