Medical Record Number (MRN) – A Medical Record Number (MRN) is a healthcare organization-specific identifier given to each patient. This number is used to retrieve everything in the patient’s record (medical history, past encounters, medication list) and it is also used to map things like incoming lab results to a patient.
