If your clinic uses non-health card number IDs (e.g., Student Card Numbers), you can use the 'Alternate ID' setting as the Check-in Type.
Prerequisites
In order to utilize the Alternate ID check-in functionality, you must:
- Be a PS Suite, Accuro, or OSCAR Pro EMR user.
- Your device must be set to 'Kiosk Mode'.
- Store the Alternate ID value under the relevant field in your EMR as shown below.
- Alternate IDs must be numeric only, and unique to each patient.
- In PS Suite, the Alternate ID value must be stored in the 'Chart number' field within the patient chart.
-
- In Accuro, the Alternate ID value must be stored in the 'File Number' field within the patient chart.
-
- In OSCAR Pro, the Alternate ID value must be stored in the 'Chart No.' field within the patient chart.
-
To Use Alternate IDs to Check-in at Kiosk:
- Log into the Ocean Portal, open the 'Menu' in the top left corner, and select 'Tablets & Kiosks'.

Under the 'Check-In' tab, locate the 'Check-in Type' setting, and select 'Alternate ID'.
If you are an Accuro EMR user, walk-in functionalities will be unavailable.
