Merge patients

Combine duplicate patient records into one, keeping all injuries, appointments and history.

AI summaryTL;DR
  • Merge two records when the same person was entered twice.
  • Pick which record to keep — the other’s injuries, appointments and attachments move across.
  • Merging can’t be undone, so check you’ve got the right two people.

Duplicates happen — a patient gets entered twice, or a booking creates a second record. Merging brings everything onto a single record so their history isn’t split.

Merge two records

  1. 1
    Open Merge Patients

    From the Patients menu, choose Merge Patients.

  2. 2
    Choose the duplicate pair

    Search and select the two records. ManaNotes shows them side by side so you can confirm they’re the same person.

  3. 3
    Pick the record to keep

    Choose which record survives. The other record’s injuries, appointments, invoices and attachments move onto it.

  4. 4
    Confirm the merge

    Review and confirm. The duplicate is retired and everything now lives on the kept record.
