Medical Record # |
The patient's medical record number (MRN). When used for searching, this field allows you to retrieve patient records by their current or previous MRN. If an MRN is associated with an assigning authority, then the column displays the assigning authority in brackets next to the MRN. For example, if MRN 125 is associated with the EMR assigning authority, then it is displayed as 125 [EMR]. Assigning authorities differentiate MRNs that have the same value. If an MRN has been merged, then the column displays the previous MRN in parentheses next to the current one. For example, if a record with an MRN of 123 were merged into MRN 124, then the MRN column would display 124 (123) for that record. |
|
MPI Number |
The patient's master patient index (MPI). When used for searching, this field allows you to retrieve patient records by their current or previous MPI. If an MPI is associated with an assigning authority, then the column displays the assigning authority in brackets next to the MPI. For example, if MPI 125 is associated with the EMR assigning authority, then it is displayed as 125 [EMR]. Assigning authorities differentiate MPIs that have the same value. If an MPI record has been merged, then the column displays the previous MPI in parentheses next to the current one.
