Adding a System Record to a Patient Profile

If a patient has local IDs in addition to those already recorded in the master index application, you can add the local IDs to the patient’s profile by adding a system record to the profile. To add a local ID to a patient profile, you need to specify information such as the system that assigned the local ID, certain demographic information, and the local ID itself. When you add a system record to a patient profile, the survivor calculator determines what changes, if any, should be made to the SBR.

You cannot add a new local ID and system pair to a patient profile if that same local ID and system pair already exists in another patient profile.
