State Abbreviations

The State Abbreviations list contains U.S. states and standard abbreviations by default, but can be edited or added to.

In the Main Menu, click Lists, State Abbreviations.

State abbreviations are used to enter state information in the Edit Patient Information and Add Family windows. Typing the first letter of the state will prompt a suggestion box of all state abbreviations that match the first entered letter.
