Important Enabling Contacts to Multiple Accounts is required to use person accounts in Health Cloud.

Since Health Cloud uses person accounts to represent patients, you must enable the setting that allows a contact to be related to multiple accounts. By enabling the contacts to be shared with multiple accounts, you ensure that person accounts are available to use in your org.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Account Settings, and then select **Account Settings**
2. Select **Edit**.
3. In the Contacts to Multiple Accounts Setting section of the page, select the checkbox for Allow users to relate a contact to multiple accounts.
4. Save your changes.
