Edit data element info: Chart number

unstructured part of page:

The number is assigned to a patient by Admitting. This is done once the patient has been seen by Triage in ER or new to the hospital for clinics, testing and various workups. This number remains the patient's chart number for all hospital visits, admissions, tests, etc. == Collection instructions == === Leading Zeros === If your chart number system uses leading zeros, '''don't enter the leading zeros''', start with the first non-zero number. === Dashes near the end of the number === EPR sometimes lists something like MRN 123456-1; in that case, we code 1234561, i.e. leave out the dash, but code the trailing number. === Unclear or changing chart numbers === See * [[Alias ID collection]] * [[John or Jane Doe patient]] * [[Stolen identities]] {{Guideline Minimal Data Set}} == Data Processing == The [[Centralized_data_front_end.accdb]] has queries that make sure that the chart number for each Hospital site is the same for the same patient and make sure the chart number has valid format. *query [[PL_SameCHART_Site_Diff_PHIN]] *query [[PL_SamePHIN_Site_Diff_chart]] *query [[PL Chart 9 Digit]] The [[Data Processor]] fixes any inconsistencies found from these queries by crosschecking from EPR and adds the alias identifier to the tmp project [[Alias ID collection]]. In addition, the [[Statistician]] uses SAS to check key identifiers so they are consistent for same patient including Hosp chart etc. {{PHI_Data}} == Cross checks == {{Data Integrity Check List}} == Related articles == {{Related Articles}} [[Category:Identification numbers]] [[Category:Registry Data]] [[Category:Demographics]] [[Category:Cognos Report Integrator]] [[Category:Data Collection Guide]]
