These IDs are processed as a string - not as in contrast to an numeric value. This means - a patient "0001234" is not the same as patient "1234".
Please note, that most custo diagnostic feature assume, that Patient and Visit IDs are present. In systems where one of these information is not available, some functions will by default not work the way they are defined by HL7. (e.g. Merging/Moving). Please contact custo med in advance, to discuss the appropriate configuration in circuomstances circumstances where Patient or Visit ID are not available.
