HPRIM fields

A field represents a specific piece of data, such as patient name, address, or doctor ID, and has a specific set of attributes.

Add or modify fields within specific variants. Select an existing variant or create a new one.

The list box in the Defined Fields pane contains every field defined in the selected variant, numerically sorted. Add or delete fields in this pane.

  • For an existing field, click the field name, or specify a search string in the search text box at the bottom of the pane. Press Enter or click Find (binoculars).
  • For a new field, click New.
    • For Field Number, specify a five-digit number that is unique among all fields in the current variant. For ease in identification, user-defined fields can be numbered 90000-99999.
    • For Field Name, specify a descriptive name for the field. Unique field names are not necessary.
Note: The standard HPRIM base definition cannot be deleted.
