If the InForm application finds a duplicate patient number at the destination site
After you submit the patient transfer transaction, the InForm application determines whether there is a patient number conflict at the destination site. If a duplicate patient number exists at the destination site, the transfer stops until you resolve the patient number conflict; duplicate patient numbers at a site are not permitted in patient record transfers. Follow these steps to change the patient number.
- Complete the Patient Record Transfer page. For more information, see Transferring one patient at a time.
If the InForm application finds a conflict, an error message appears.
- Click OK.
The Patient Record Transfer page appears again.
Note: The Patient Number field is now editable.
- Change the Patient Number field to a number that is not currently used at the destination site.
- Click Submit.
The patient transfer transaction is complete.
