Update

Beginning July 29, 2025 the sequential field no longer displays a contiguous sequence. Instead it used the internal ID of the object being created. This was done to insure performance of object creation stayed fast and the platform remained scalable for our growing client base. The sequential fields will be 2 parts. A fixed 7 digit internal id with leading zeros and a fixed 2 digit "offset" in case a conflict occurs. For example consider the following scenario.

Patient: James T. Kirk
Facility: Enterprise Inc
Patient Type: PT

Code pattern: Last 4, Facility 4, Sequential might produce the code: KIRKENTE0000054

If this code was for some reason taken it would instead produce: KIRKENTE000005402
