On the External tab, you can enter ID numbers from other systems for a person or patient. This functionality is used with interfaces between a NextGen application and another external application where the ID number for each person or patient is different in the two systems. Examples include a demographics interface with a hospital, or an orders interface with a lab. Information on the External tab is stored at the system level; therefore, all practices in all enterprises share the same information for a person or patient.
