Manage External Identifiers

For a number of integrations, it is common that one or more External Identifiers may be created by an integration.

In rare cases, a technical support staff member may need to add, remove or edit these identifiers.

For individuals with the role technical_support; under Patient > External Identifiers there is the ability to List, Add, Edit, and Remove external identifiers
