Thanks.

I do not know if that is possible, but if someone knows a way I would love to know.
Thanks!

Here is what we put
{PATIENT.LABELNAME} ({PATIENT.NICKNAME})
Works great

Under preferences you change patient banner to banner with preferred name

We use the coding below in our banner - it only shows the preferred name if it is different than the patient's first name.
{PATIENT.LABELNAME}"{if PATIENT.NICKNAME = PATIENT.FIRSTNAME then " "
else PATIENT.NICKNAME endif}"
Hope that helps.

Is there a way to add the preferred name to the "Standard Banner"? That is the banner we are currently using but I don't see where I can edit it...... I can edit the other banners in the system but I can't find the one for the Standard Banner. Or does someone know the format of this so that I can create a banner with the same format and add the preferred name?

I have not found a way to edit the default yet. GE also hasn't had a answer when I have asked them either.

In registration, there is an additional tab and at the bottom left a Notes. One can put preferred name there, but your IT has to create a banner that includes that element. Works for us. We actually use that feature in our BHC banner to identify our high risk patients, so don't put their preferred name there.
