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.

  1. 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.

  2. Click OK.

    The Patient Record Transfer page appears again.

    Note: The Patient Number field is now editable.

  3. Change the Patient Number field to a number that is not currently used at the destination site.
  4. Click Submit.

    The patient transfer transaction is complete.
