By default, Halaxy assigns a patient number for every patient. If you have your own numbering system, you can set up custom patient numbering in your general settings.
-
Click Settings > General.
-
Under the Patient Settings section, click Edit.
-
In the pop-up, select Custom patient numbering, then configure the following:
-
(Optional) Patient Prefix / Suffix: Enter a prefix and/or suffix for your patient numbers. You can leave these fields blank if you don't want to use them.
-
Next available number: Enter the next available number to use in the format you want. This is useful for reconciling your patient numbering from your previous practice management software.
-
-
Click Save.
Your custom numbering applies starting with the next patient you add to your Halaxy. Existing patient profiles are unaffected by these changes.
