NOTE: This function is usually only available to users with administrator access privileges.
Use the patient merge function to merge two patient records together, in instances where a patient somehow has duplicate records. The information from one record (the source record) is copied into the other (destination) record, leaving the source empty. In case there are any items such as patient x-rays that have not been copied by the merge procedure, it is recommended that the source record is marked as inactive rather than deleted.
