Assigning Medical Professionals to a Resident 

Regular contact with medical professionals is part of daily resident care. You can associate Medical Professionals to the resident and designate the Primary Physician. Select as many professionals as you need, ensuring one is the primary physician. This section is important so the care services team know who to contact for care and medication management decisions for the resident.
