Adding an Auxiliary ID to a Patient Profile

Once you have saved a patient profile, you can add auxiliary IDs to that profile either in the SBR or the affected system record. You can add multiple IDs of the same type to a patient profile. If you add the ID to a system record, then the survivor calculator determines what changes, if any, should be made to the SBR.

To Add an Auxiliary ID to a Patient Profile

1. Using one of the search methods described in Searching for Patient Profiles, display the patient profile you want to modify on the View/Edit page.

2. Do one of the following:

   • To add an auxiliary ID to the SBR, select AuxId under SBR in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

   • To add an auxiliary ID to a system record, select AuxId under that system record in the EUID tree in the left portion of the View/Edit page.

3. Enter the new auxiliary ID information in the fields in the right portion of the page (for more information, see About Auxiliary ID Fields on the Patient EDM).

4. In the lower left portion of the page, click Add AuxId.

5. Click Commit.

   The page refreshes, and, if you modified a system record, the SBR is recalculated based on the new information.

   Note –

   If you added the auxiliary ID to the SBR, all fields in the auxiliary ID record are automatically locked, and will not be updated by incoming system messages until they are unlocked.
