Managing the Health Card Number

LTC eConnect uses the Health Card Number as part of the resident search, therefore you must confirm the setup of the Health Card Number identifier in your facility or organization.

In Resident Identifiers, you must confirm that the Health Card Number format does not contain dashes but spaces are acceptable.

In General Configuration, you must confirm that the Health Card Number identifier is selected.

Resident Identifiers

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Single facility: Admin > Setup > Resident Identifiers.

    • Multi-facility: Management Console > Standards > Financial Management > Resident Identifiers.

  2. Click Edit for Health Card Number > remove dashes, if applicable. You can remove them entirely or replace them with spaces, for example, NNNN NNN NNNOO.

General Configuration

  1. Admin > Setup > General Configuration.

  2. Identifier used for MR/HCN # - select Health Card Number or alternate health card number identifier.
