Patient Import CSV

Minimum CorEMR Version: 5.2

Format

The file must be a Comma-Separated Value file (CSV) with the number and order of columns exactly as listed. The columns marked Required must have the specified type of data present or importing will not occur. All other columns may be left blank, but must still be present in the file. If a field is not able to be included and is not required, that field should be left blank.

Matching

When importing this file, CorEMR will attempt to find an existing chart matching the given Patient ID value. If not found, a new chart and booking entry will be created. If found, that row is skipped. This means this format only works for importing patient data once.
