The Demographics page of a client's chart is like the face sheet of a traditional paper chart. It is created either by the client with the Profile tool and/or by the therapist with the Onboarding Tool or the Add Client tool. It holds contact information and general patient info like gender and birthday.

The Demographics page also serves as the Edit Client tool, meaning that you can make changes here at any time to update a client's information. If the client has already filled out a Profile form but needs to update it, the Portal and Profile Tools section of the Demographics page of the chart changes to display a link which allows you to resend the Profile tool:

In most cases, it's suggested that you use the Complete Setup, which is the most HIPAA compliant solution and which also gives both you and your client access to all tools. Clicking Complete Setup does this:
