Relationship field

[Hersheydmd]

In Patient Information - Family Relationships - Edit Family Relationship:
If the Patient is A
and the Family Member B is his father
Do I enter "father" or "child" in the Relationship field. It is not clear who that field refers to, the patient or the family member.

It feels like forever since I looked at immunization code. And Stage 3 of EHR is just around the corner

Off the top of my head, it should go like this:
Patient A - son
Patient B - dad

Patient A is selected. You are now adding "family members" of said patient, thus wanting to indicate the relationship in regards to patient A (the selected patient). With patient A selected, add a family relationship, select patient B for the "Family Member" field and then pick "Father" for the relationship field.

I'll double check that I'm right and then talk with our technical writer tomorrow about making the family relationship page very clear:
