Patient Types
Within OASiS the "Family Head" is considered to be the Account Holder. Usually you enter the family head into OASiS first and then attach the family members to this family head.
The Patient Summary Panel shows two OASiS numbers. The patient's unique OASiS number in this example would be (000020) and the family head would be (000006). If the two numbers are the same, this would indicate that the currently selected patient is the family head.

The patient with the pink "type" in the family head, whereas the patient with the blue "type" is the family member.

We recommend that on the new family heads file you put in a "Financial Note" via the Patients History window to say "For previous financial transactions please refer to original account holder OASiS Number: ######"
Convert to Head of this Family
Used when an existing family member needs to be changed to the head of the family.

Transfer to a different Family
Family dynamics change all the time, so patients may need transferring from one family to another. Also useful if two family members have been entered into OASiS as their own family heads.
