Patient Identifier Administration

The Patient Identifiers Administration screen is used to define the Patient Identifiers that are used by Silhouette. Each patient within Silhouette can have one or more of these identifiers assigned to them.

Access to the Patient Identifier Administration screen is controlled by the corresponding group permissions, namely 'can create units', 'can edit units', and 'can delete units'.
