Working With the EDM for Sun Master Patient Index

Local ID

A local ID is a unique local identification number that is assigned to a patient in each system at which they are registered. These numbers are assigned using a numbering system unique to each local system, and are used internally by the systems to identify each patient. Sun Master Patient Index uses a patient’s EUID to cross-reference their local IDs in different systems. Note that the name of the Local ID field is configurable and might be different for your implementation.
