How to create a custom patient Identifier

Hi Guys, I am in a situation where I need to create a patient Identifier made up of initials of patient name, patient mother, location Id and a sequential number…when this patient is enrolled in a certain program. I dont know where to begin honestly since IDs are more managed in the core application. I need your help on how to achieve this regards all

@ganguyo you can define your identifier type to a unique identifier for all patient enrolled into a particular program to have something like this ABC00100074 or any format you wish. Go to Administration - Patients - Manage Identifier Types - Add patient Identifier Type. You can configure the IDs with Regex Formatting methods, and set validations if so desire.

Hope this helps.

What will be the Regex for ABC/TMT/1234

I am curious because it appears the accepted format is unique.
