When a patient ID is entered, the system verifies its
format, extracts the patient’s gender and date of
birth, and populates those fields if they are enabled.
Patient ID Length (0-30) Defines the maximum length of the patient ID within
the range of 0 to 30 characters.
This field is available only if the Enable Patient ID
Check field is cleared.
Patient ID with leading zeros Determines whether the system should prefix the
Patient ID with zeroes to fill in the length of the
Patient ID specified in the field Patient ID Length .
For example, If the user selected the length of the
Patient ID field as 10 and entered the PID PID098 , it
is displayed by the system as 0000PID098 .
Sort Patient List by Determines the field by which the patient list is
sorted. Options are:
