Overview

This flow describes how to set, view, and change the identifiers of a patient in MANSOQ.

Identifiers name a patient in a way that goes beyond the name and the phone number. A national ID and a facility-specific ID are two examples. An administrator configures each identifier type with these properties:

• Required or optional for every patient.
• Unique. No two patients share the same value.
• Validated against a specific format.
• Available at one facility only, or across the whole instance.
• Auto-generated by MANSOQ. You cannot enter or edit an auto-generated value.

Pre-requisites

• An administrator of a facility.
• You have the permissions listed below.

Permissions

Steps

1. Set the identifiers at registration

1. Register the patient. See Register a patient.
2. Enter a value for every required identifier.
3. Skip the identifiers that MANSOQ generates. You cannot enter these values.

Note: Which identifiers are required, optional, or auto-generated depends on your deployment's configuration. The scope of an identifier also depends on this configuration.

2. See the identifiers of a patient

1. Open the profile of the patient. See View a patient's profile.
2. Go to the "Identifiers" section. This section shows all the identifiers on file for the patient.

3. Change the identifiers of a patient

1. Open the profile of the patient.
2. Edit the details of the patient. See Update patient details.
3. Add a value for an identifier that has no value.
4. Change the value of an identifier that has a value.
5. Save the changes.

Note: You cannot enter or edit an identifier that MANSOQ generates.

Expected Outcome

• The "Identifiers" section of the patient profile shows the identifiers that you entered.
• MANSOQ generates the values of the auto-generated identifiers.
• MANSOQ rejects a value that does not match the format of the identifier.
• MANSOQ rejects a value that another patient already uses, when the identifier is unique.
