The Physician Import Processor can update the Physician Number and EMR System ID for an existing physician, provided these values remain unique.
The Physician Import Processor checks the following, in order of precedence:
-
If the specified user name matches an existing physician, then the import process can update the physician's Physician Number and EMR System ID, provided the new values are unique.
-
If no user name is provided, but the specified Physician Number matches an existing physician, then the import process can update the physician's EMR System ID, provided the new value is unique.
-
If no user name is provided, but the specified EMR System ID matches an existing physician, then the import process can update the physician's Physician Number, provided the new value is unique.
The Physician Import Processor cannot change the user account mapped to an existing physician. If you attempt to change a physician's user name, the verification report displays an error saying a user name already exists for the physician.
