=== Question - Serial series per laptop or per [[Service/Location]] ===
== Background ==
====More than one pool per laptop====
Data collectors used to collect one or more locations from one or more pools of serial number pools. All laptops now use one pool of serial numbers per [[Service/Location]].

Details of the serial number system are located in [[Serial number]]. This has been flagged as one reason why people find paper printouts of the most recent patients sent useful. The need to keep track of this is one reason given by collectors to keep using the [[Data collection log form]]. We would like to eliminate reasons for this additional paperwork.
* emailed Trish earlier today to find out how we can move these last few sites over to single pool serials Ttenbergen 12:31, 2020 July 23 (CDT)
 
*emailed staff below to start using one serial pool number using the next highest number on laptop starting immediately. [[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 15:06, 2020 July 23 (CDT)
Before [[Update of D ID to include a laptop identifier]]s, Serial numbers had to be unique for a collection location, so if a ward like HSC_H4H is collected on by multiple collectors then a serial number must never be re-used. This is currently achieved by assigning blocks of numbers for each 100 possible serial numbers to a given collector (again, see [[Serial number]] for details).

* H5 - [[HSC_B3]] (& [[HSC_WRS3]])
** serial numbers for B3, WRS3 and contingency units (H6 & WRS2) are all from the same number pool.
** Serial numbers for B2 (High Obs)are from a different pool.
** Serial numbers for EMIPs are also from a different pool.
* S5 - old STB_MedA ([[STB_E6_B]]) - '''One serial pool used for all collection starting July 24, 2020'''
**Also collected are A and B medicine service patients admitted to covid suspect unit(s), currently A6S and patients transferred to S4/E5 (A service) continue to be followed on S5/E6B laptop.  
**EMIPs 1-15th every month regardless of service-starting July 24, 2020 onward EMIPs are entered using same serial pool as S5/E6B
**Overs are tracked 1-15th inclusive every month and assigned/entered according to service (A service on S4/E5 laptop, B service on E6B laptop)
* S4 - old STB_MedD ([[STB_E5]]) - E5 uses one set of serial numbers, and the emip's that I collect are a completely different set of serial numbers [[User:DPageNewton|DPageNewton]] 07:26, 2020 June 4 (CDT)


====One pool per laptop====
A serial number must be entered before any other data since access uses it to set the relationships for the data. To accomplish that, function new_pat_id() opens a window requesting the serial number pops up when "add new patient" is clicked on the patient list.
* G9 - [[GRA_MICU]] - one serial pool for laptop G9 & unit GRA MICU[[User:Gens|Gens]] 12:45, 2020 June 3 (CDT)
* G8 - [[GRA_N3]], [[GRA_N5]] (N3a, N5a) - One set of serial numbers for 3North, one set of serial numbers for EMIPs/3South/5North of patients that I keep on those units  AS OF JUNE16/20 As per discussion with Tina will use 1 set of serial numbers for all profiles on this laptop G8
* G7 - [[GRA_N5]]/[[GRA_S3]] - using 1 pool of numbers for both
* H3 -[[HSC_H4]], B2, boarding arecpooled
* H4 - HSC_D4, B2, boarding and EMIP are pooled
* H6 - [[HSC_A4]], B2, boarding and EMIP are pooled
* H7 - old HSC_ICUd - service locations are pooled
* H8 - old HSC_ICUb - service locations are pooled
* H9 - old HSC_ICUa - service locations are pooled
* S6 - old STB_MedB ([[STB_B5]]/[[STB_IMCU]]) - Unit locations share same serial number pool
* S7 - old [[STB_MICU]] (MISI) - one pool (only one unit is collected on this laptop)
* S8 - old [[STB_CICU]] - one pool (only one unit is collected on this laptop)
* S9 - old [[STB_ACCU]] - one pool (only one unit is collected on this laptop)
* S5 - old STB_MedA (STB_E6_B) - service locations are pooled '''starting July 24, 2020


=== any problems moving to one pool per laptop for all? ===
=== Potential problems moving to one pool per laptop for all? ===
'''Not a problem: large Serials will increase size of D_ID'''

There is a temporary situation of  [[HSC_WRS3]] using negative serial numbers. This is not the usual thing, this was done initially to solve the duplicate records (i.e. before and after covid) but after changing the process, the positive serial number sequence has been followed. No new negative serials are expected, so not a problem.

If we needed to use negative numbers again in the future we could, they just wouldn't be managed automatically.
