In the patient edit contacts (screenshot) it is 'Town' ... suggest

1) to make it the same in both… City

2) to reconcile Region vs State as

        Province / State

as this costs no more screen width than In-praxis primary

3) while I know its addition would require an additional row of vertical space 
in "Adding new person", shall

        … Notes

be added so that it is possible to enter them in both? Else one needs to go 
into the Demographics and select the Contacts pane and the line item and to 
select to edit it, to put this in.


4) In the "Adding new person" dialog, the bottom field "Comment" has no 
context. The impression might be that it captures a comment on the occupation, 
or perhaps a general comment about contacting the patient. However, where this 
gets stored and displayed is in the *Identity* area next to the name. IMO it is 
valuable to be able to capture and store a "name" context such as

        Name 1 <--- this used to be their (pre-married) surname
        Name 2 <--- default / current

but this normally only becomes relevant at the point where a second name is 
being created. Can I therefore suggest that this space or position in "Adding 
new person" (if enough remains even after adding … Notes) be repurposed to 
capture

        Emergency notes

which would be stored and accessible in Social network?
