Configuring patient name format

You can configure the format used to display patient names in the Patient Assignment screen using the PATIENT_NAME_DISPLAY registry parameter. The table below lists the supported patient name formats. The examples are for a hypothetical patient named John Michael Doe with a hospital patient ID of 123.

From the main menu of Infor Workforce Management, select Maintenance > System Administration > Registry Maintenance > system > modules > clinicalScience > PATIENT_NAME_DISPLAY

Registry value Description Example
[PT_LASTNAME], [PT_FIRSTNAME] [PT_MI.] Patient last name, followed by their first name and middle initial. This is the default option. Doe, John M.
[PT_LASTNAME], [PT_FIRSTNAME] [PT_MIDDLENAME] Patient last name, followed by their first name and full middle name. Doe, John Michael
[PT_LASTNAME], [PT_FIRSTNAME] Patient last name, followed by their first name. Doe, John
[PT_ID] Patient hospital patient ID 123
[PT_LASTNAME], [PT_FIRSTNAME] - [PT_ID] Patient last name, followed by their first name and hospital patient ID. Doe, John - 123

If an invalid value is specified in this registry, then the default value [PT_LASTNAME], [PT_FIRSTNAME] [PT_MI.] is used for patient name format.
