A healthcare practitioner facility record specifies the facility’s account record and the practitioner’s contact record. Create multiple records if a practitioner works for more than one facility or organization.

If the healthcare practitioner provides primary care to the patient, make sure you select the Primary Care Physician checkbox.

1. From the App Launcher, find and select **Healthcare Practitioner Facilities**.
2. Click **New**.
3. For Practioner Facility Name, enter a name such as Dr Meera Kaling at StayHealthy Hospital. We recommend you establish this naming convention or a similar naming convention for these records.
4. Select **Active**.
5. For Account, specify the account associated with the practitioner facility.
6. For Practitioner, specify the practitioner that works at the facility. If you created a person account for the practitioner, select it in this field. Otherwise select the practitioner's contact record.
7. If the facility is the practitioner's primary facility, select **Primary Facility**.
8. If the practitioner provides primary care, select **Primary Care Physician**.
9. Add other relevant information, and then save your changes.
