PID or External ID

Hi

Shouldn’t we be using the patient External ID?  I have noticed that we are using the pid in reports and on screen (ie Active Patient) and on perscriptions.
Its rather confusing for those in transition to paperless and have to rely on looking up the patients OEMR record by name, SS or date.  ID lookup is of no use because it uses PID.

Where is Letter popup and phone number search?

Thanks
