Position (Marital Status) Has "Child" Option?

Post by mandmdiet » Wed Apr 27, 2022 9:11 am

We're looking through the Open Dental documentation to figure out how to know the marital status of a patient and it looks like the Position field in the database is where this value is kept. However, among the options for marital status is the option of "Child". Is this another way, along with "Single", to indicate unmarried? Or is it important to use this "Child" value outside of the context of marital status?

Thanks

Some features of the program do use the "Child" value to determine the patient's relationship to the other patients in the family.
