Rules regarding Acuity System patient IDs
These rules apply within the Acuity System:
• A patient ID number, an amended ID number or both may be entered.
• Letter case is ignored when ID numbers are compared to the PSND and WACS
databases.
• An autopopulate search can match a currently monitored Acuity System patient or a
patient discharged from the Acuity System for a period of 24-96 hours (depending
upon the system’s Full Disclosure configuration).
• After autopopulated information is confirmed, it can be modified. ID numbers can be
revised with an amended ID number, and amended ID numbers can be amended.
For more information about entering and revising patient information in the Acuity
System, see the Acuity and Mobile Acuity LT Central Monitoring Systems directions
for use.
