I would like to put a reference to an address book record into the patients demographics. I see a pharmacy being referred to but a haven’t been able to track down how or if I could refer to a record in the address book (such as an referring collegue).
Is it possible ad how? or is it related to

Take a look at the field in demographics layout call ‘Provider’ it specifically uses the address book to provide a pick list of any provider with an NPI # registered.  It can be used for either the "assigned internal provider’ or for ‘referring provider’ from the address book.   

Note:  The address book records are in the ‘users’ table. The difference between a ‘user’ and a ‘address entry’ is the existence of a password.

Thks. I need to fiddle with the names and organisation-name to make things work, but it is definitely a progress.

Next trouble is how to place a check-box. No matter the other parameters I can not get at checkbox to be shown.

Could somebody please guide me with at list of parameters that will produce a checkbox?

Greetings,

Morten
