option with the Inbound HL7 ADT module.
1. In a patient ID setup window, the user enters the patient ID number or an amended
patient ID number and presses the Return or Enter key.
2. The Acuity System queries the Acuity System patient name server deamon (PNSD)
for the ID number(s) and patient information associated with the number(s).
If a match is not found, the Acuity System queries the WACS database (SQL) for the
ID number(s) and patient information associated with the number(s).
3. At the Acuity Central Station in the Patient ID Setup window, the Acuity System
responds in one of these ways:
• If no associated information was found, the curser moves to the next field in the
window.
• If associated information was found, this confirmation message appears within
two seconds.

• If the user clicks Accept, the remaining fields of the window autopopulate, and

The autopopulate action cannot be undone.
• If the user clicks Go Back, the user can manually type the correct information into
the blank text fields.
