I think it is fairly well integrated into the VA
system. But I don't know if VistA depends on it. I
don't think CPRS can use it to look up a patient by
their HEALTH RECORD NO. however.
Another option would be to use just name and DOB.
There is a key that allows entry of patients WITHOUT a
SSN. Or, you can just enter "P" for a SSN, and they
will be given a pseudo-SSN.
