Use the Merge Values feature to merge duplicate physician names into one physician name.
Physician names may be stored in multiple formats within the database, but actually represent the same physician. For example, the following names in the database could all represent the same physician:
Smith, John
Smith, J.
Smith, John, Jr.
Smith, Jonathan
Smith, Jon
To reduce confusion, you may want to merge these names so that only one name is used within the database. You can merge values into an existing name or a new name.
 | Note: Physician names can be merged only on the local IMPAX system. |
