How to Manually Link Patients Using EMR Patient IDs (CRM)

This guide explains how to find EMR patient IDs and manually link patient records between Dazos CRM and your EMR system when automatic linking is not working properly.

When to Use This Guide

Use this process when you need to manually connect patient records that exist in both systems but are not automatically linked. This is typically needed when automatic linking has failed or when dealing with historical patient data.

Finding EMR Patient IDs

Patient IDs can be found in your EMR portal URLs. When you navigate to a patient's record in your EMR, the patient ID will be visible in the browser's address bar.

Manual Linking Process

  1. Locate the Patient Record
    Navigate to the patient's record in Dazos CRM that you want to link to the EMR.

  2. Access Manual Linking
    Look for the manual patient linking option in the patient's record or settings area.

  3. Enter the EMR Patient ID
    Input the patient ID you found in the EMR portal URL.

  4. Attempt to Link
    Click the search or link button to establish the connection.

Known Issues

⚠️ Important: The manual patient linking functionality may not work properly and could display errors during the linking process. This feature is rarely used since the system typically relies on automatic linking.

If you encounter errors when attempting manual linking:

  • The search may load briefly but then fail

  • Error messages may appear without clear explanations

  • The linking process may not complete successfully

When to Contact Support

Contact Dazos support if you experience any of the following:

  • Consistent errors during the manual linking process

  • The manual linking interface is not accessible

  • Multiple patients need to be linked and manual linking is not functioning

  • You need assistance with bulk patient linking operations

When contacting support, provide:

  • The specific error messages you're seeing

  • The EMR patient IDs you're trying to link

  • Screenshots of any error screens

Alternative Solutions

If manual linking is not working:

  • Verify that automatic linking is properly configured

  • Check if the patient records have matching demographic information

  • Consider recreating the patient record if linking continues to fail

  • Work with support to investigate integration issues
