Scope and Content Note
These cards serve as an index to patient admission and discharge registers. Data on the cards includes name, address, next of kin, facility, case number (the facility assigns a patient identification number to the patient), and state identification number (assigned by the Office of Mental Health and is one number per individual regardless of where the individual is receiving treatment). Cards often include additional patient-related notations. This series is no longer created in hard copy. In 1980 the Office of Mental Health automated this function. The State Archives does not hold the records indexed by this series and has no information on their whereabouts.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
