Indicating guardian for patients who are minors
If a patient is a minor, have something in PM indicating so, and prompting a new box where guardian (parent) name and phone numbers can be entered. We rarely call a 5 year old to remind him of their appointment, or ask questions about a medical record. Right now we have to list parents names, numbers in notes, and it is inconvenient

Legal Guardianship and Primary Caregiver are crucial to pediatric patient care, transport and chaperon privileges. Legal Guardianship and Primary Caregiver are also NCQA’s Patient Centered Medical Home Section2: Element A, requirements 9 and 10. The PM system currently does not have a method to define that information for the EMR.
