Patient IDs

Page Description

Use the Patient IDs page to view the patient's master patient ID or to view, add, or edit up to two alternate identification numbers for the patient. You must have the necessary rights to edit these values. You may use this feature to handle cases where a billing system, reference lab, clinic, or other entity uses a different patient ID scheme. Copia can send and receive these values in inbound and outbound messages to host systems.

In addition to patient IDs, this page displays the hosts associated with the patient and their respective host codes. If you have the necessary rights, you may edit these patient host codes.
