Patient codes (Field mode)

In Field mode, patient code is entered in the New Patient window, which appears when you click the New button on the Patient component toolbar.

If the Generate New Patient Codes check box is not selected for your Business Unit (Administration>Configuration>Business Units>Settings>Patient Code), you enter a patient code manually.

If another patient has the same code, the application prompts you to change it during synchronization. With the Generate New Patient Codes check box selected, you do not have to change the patient code during synchronization because the application generates available code in Host mode.
