ECG247 now introduces support for custom reference IDs for each test. This enables external systems to link their own identifiers to a test for direct integration with patient administrative systems.
How It Works
In the ECG247 Portal:
- Create a new test (as usual).
- Enter a Custom Reference ID in the new field (optional – not required).
- The ID is included in the export.
Note: The reference ID is intended as a stable key and cannot be changed after the test is created.
Tips
- Make the ID unique within your organization (e.g.,
ORD-2025-000123). - Use predictable formats (prefix + serial number or UUID).
- Do not include sensitive personal information (such as names or birth numbers) in the reference ID itself.
- Establish a naming standard (system URI, string format, length) and document it internally.
Privacy and Security
- The reference ID is stored in accordance with ECG247’s security practices and your organization’s access control.
- The ID is logged in the audit trail along with other events.
- Avoid using personally identifiable data in the ID field to minimize risk during sharing and export.
Availability
This feature is available to all enterprise customers in the portal and via API.
