Creating a new MRN in Cerner
To have a BUMC MRN created for your research subjects who do not have a BUMC medical record, please contact the phone numbers below.
- Banner - University Medical Center Tucson: (520) 694-1480
- Banner - University Medical Center South: (520) 874-8100
- Banner - University Medical Center Phoenix: (602) 839-6600
The information needed to create an MRN is: the subject’s name, SSN, date of birth, and sex. All information provided must be legal and valid, and photo identification may be requested at check-in to the procedure. We recommend that the subject’s phone number be included in the record in case of appointment changes or reminders, but if the subject does not want to provide his or her contact information, you may want to consider providing your work phone number so that you are made aware of changes and can contact the subject accordingly.
CERNER ACCESS FOR STUDY MONITORS
- Cerner access for external monitors should be made no less than 14 days in advance of their scheduled visit.
- Provisions can also be made for an unscheduled urgent monitor visit which will be processed in 24 hours.
- To request access please complete the two forms: Monitor Request Form (complete all information in form) & Computer Access Request (CAR) Form
- Be sure to select the "Type of data requested" when completing the Monitor Request Form.

- For monitors who have previously had access granted, they will only need their access reactivated for the dates that they will be on site.
- Send the 2 completed forms via encrypted email to Ellisha Flores at Ellisha.Flores@bannerhealth.com. Emails should be encrypted as the Monitor Request Form includes Protected Health Information (PHI).
If you have any additional questions, please call the BUMC Help Desk phone number: (520) 694-4357 (also located at the top of the CARS form).
