Display full middle name in chart instead of initial...
i have a big korean population in my practice and a lot of the names appear duplicated if the full middle name is not shown. can an option to display the full middle name (not just the middle initial) be created?

We work with children who often go by their middle names or a more informal name.
the reason why i mentioned having the middle name displayed instead of having to put in their "go by" name is for billing through kareo (thinking about transitioning over)? i haven't tried it yet, but i'm not sure if insurance claims would be approved if i placed both the first and middle names in the "first name" section, and certainly not if their "go by" name is placed in the first name section.
In our practice, if the patient does not use his/her first name, we put the name they want to use in parentheses right after the first name but still in the first name field. PF does not restrict you to a single name in the first name field.
This would also be helpful for those patients who "go by" their middle name.
