Edit a patient ID number: add an amended (revised) patient ID
Once a patient ID number is confirmed, it cannot be changed. However, if your Acuity
System includes the amended ID feature, you can revise an original patient ID number by
adding an amended ID. If necessary, you can change this amended ID again later.
If you’re monitoring a patient with a Propaq LT monitor, you can edit this information at the
monitor instead.
Both IDs appear on printouts.
To add an amended (revised) patient ID
1. In a patient’s Virtual Monitor, click Setup, Patient ID.
The Patient ID Setup window appears.
2. Type or scan the number on the Amended ID line.
3. Carefully review your entries for accuracy.
4. Click Confirm.
The information is stored.
