The date and time formats for ~~the Critical Care and Medicine Databasea~~ are:

The Critical Care and Medicine Database uses different date and time formats throughout as work best for their context. The dates are stored internally in a format-independent way, so we can change this to suit us.

* ~~'''~~month ~~/ day / year'''~~

== Date Format in CCMDB.accdb, front-end and other .mdbs ==

**Please be extra careful not to transpose month and day

* most places use yyyy-mm-dd, occasionally yy-mm-dd for short range dates;

* [[Patient List]] uses yymmmdd HH:mm (ie spelled out month) for easier visual but longer field

* A 24-hr clock is used.

* '''HH:mm~~'''~~

== in file formats and other sortable lists ==

** on the 24 ~~hour~~ clock~~, i~~.e. ~~00:01 – 23:59~~

In sortable lists attempt to use yyyy-mm-dd (numerical month) with a 24-hr clock because it will sort right. Same applies for file names.

** (resolve from discussion)

== Date Format on the PCs ==

==~~Discussion~~==

This is unpredictable as eHealth can mess with centrally. Often it is mm-dd-yyyy with a 12-hr clock.

* I pulled this out of admit/discharge time because at least the data part also applies to DOB, and all of it ~~also applies to tmp collections. Except maybe the midnight rule, but that's the next comment~~. ~~[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 09:37, 11 February 2009 (CST)~~

* when I grabbed this from admit and discharge, it had "0000 & 2400 is not acceptable". In the admit/discharge article it refers to using 23:59 for midnight exactly. Are there other places where that should be used? If not, then the midnight rule should be added here and removed from the admit/discharge.
