Every patient that is seen by the Hospital is assigned a unique Patient Identification Number, or Case Number. Case Numbers below 600000 are reserved for patients of the Small Animal Hospital, and Case Numbers above 600000 are reserved for patients of the Large Animal Hospital. Patients are also assigned a name, which is normally provided by the client, or the patient's owner. Their full names are a combination their name and their owner's last name. Both the case number and full name can be used to identify a patient and can be found in the “Case Card” section of medical records.
