Display Name

1. Display Name
Set the display name for the coder.

External ID

2. External ID
Set the external id for the coder. This is the id that is used during encounter import to determine if the coder already exists in the facility.
If so, the existing coder is linked to the encounter, otherwise the coder is added to the system.
The display name and external id are usually the same, but this is not a requirement.

Set the cross facility id for the coder. Some clients may utilize the same contract coder for work in multiple facilities. This field allows for the grouping of cross-facility coder statistics in reports.
