Main office discussed that the Person ID might change over time if a PHIN changes as per [[PHIN_field#Multiple_PHINs_or_PHIN_changes_over_time]]. Julie is aware of this and will include this in any considerations about ongoing data she provides.
If data becomes inconsistent (eg for some reason two [[Person_ID]]s for same PHIN, [[L_Person table]]  entry without corresponding [[L_Log table]] entry, [[L_Log table|L_Log]].[[Person_ID]] without corresponding [[L_Person table]] entry) the old data in [[L Person table]] will be '''deleted''' and the records will be treated as if newly encountered patients.
 
{{Discuss | who = Julie | question =  
* When we initially discussed this it seemed that this possible change over time would be OK, but when we talked about this 2018 November 7 it seemed like this might not be OK after all, and that we have handed out this data as if this number never changes. How do we need to change this process so it works with how you give out data? }}

See Generate Person IDs for how Person_IDs are generated and maintained. A new line is generated in L_Person table, and the Person_ID is assigned to Centralized data.mdb.L_Log table.Person_ID .

For the most part, Person_ID is permanently stored and therefore remains the same for new encounters of that patient in L_Log table/L_Person table.

As of 2019-02-06, Person_ID doesn't show in any form in CFE.

Consistency of Person_ID over time

If a record in L Person table were ever deleted and recreated it would never receive the same Person_ID next time around. However, a new, re-generated Person ID would still link all records for that patient. See Generate Person IDs#Algorithm summary for details.

Implication for data we have provided

Main office discussed that the Person ID might change over time if a PHIN changes as per PHIN_field#Multiple_PHINs_or_PHIN_changes_over_time. Julie is aware of this and will include this in any considerations about ongoing data she provides.
