Add patient identifiers:
For more information, see Adding Patient Identifiers.
You need to configure the patient identifier mapping that maps the PatientSecure tag names to the source names (Verato's terminology) used within Verato.
NOTE:Verato identifiers are case-sensitive.
Select one of the following methods:
-
Enter an EMPI Tag name that maps the PatientSecure tag name to the Verato source name.
-
Select the Enterprise ID checkbox to map the Verato LinkID to a PatientSecure identifier.
-

To add an EMPI Event rule for Verato:
-
In the Admin Console, go to Settings > Rules.
-
Click Add New Rule and select EMPI Event from the drop-down list.
-
Specify the following information:
-
Name. Enter a meaningful display name for the EMPI Event rule.
Recommended display names could be the EMPI name plus the trigger type.
-
Description (optional). Enter a meaningful description for the rule's use.
-
When this happens. From the drop-down list, select the action that triggers this rule. For example, when a Patient Identifier is deleted.
One or more patient identifier filters may be applied to the rule to reduce the scope. To add a patient identifier filter:
-
Click Add/Edit filter to add a filter or to edit an existing one.
-
For locations, select Location, and select an Organization, Facility, or Department to filter by. Leave the box blank to filter by all.
-
For identifiers, select Identifier and select a patient identifier to filter by. Leave the box blank to filter by all.

Verato Credentials Annual Rotation
The information in this section was supplied by Verato.
Verato is implementing an annual credential rotation program to follow established security and compliance best practices to protect customer data. As part of the program, each customer who has Verato integration will need to update their API credentials and certificate annually. Below are the instructions on how to switch the credentials and certificate with new ones.
Verato will send the new API credentials and certificates to the Designated Support Contact (DSC) and the DSC will upload new certificate and credentials through the PatientSecure Admin Console.
Before You Begin
Before you begin, you will need:
-
A PatientSecure Admin Console administrator
-
A PatientSecure application server administrator
Step 1: Update the Verato System Configuration
Update the Verato certificate and credentials in PatientSecure Admin Console.
-
In the Admin Console, go to Settings > External Systems and Patient Identifiers. The External Systems and Patient Identifiers page opens.
-
Select the Verato item from the list.
-
On the Add/Edit Systems page, update the username and password with the new ones issued by Verato.
-
Import the p12 extension file as a new certificate and enter password for the certificate issued by Verato.
NOTE:You may need to choose All files in the select file window in order to find the p12 file.
-
Click Save.
Step 2: Restart PatientSecure Services
On the PatientSecure application server, restart the PatientSecure Verato service and PatientSecure Web Services in IIS.
-
On the PatientSecure application server, go to Server Manager > IIS.
-
Restart the PatientSecure EMPI Service.
-
Restart the PatientSecure Web Service.
-
After restarting the services, to confirm that the change is validated, you can perform a test Patient Search using Verato.
