We use multiple internal numbers to identify patients and patient ~~encoutners~~.

We use multiple internal numbers to identify patients and patient encounters.

== Serial ~~number ==~~

*[[Serial numbers]]

~~The only number assigned at the data collector level is the '''serial number''', a number assigned manually from a consecutive sequence managed by each individual unit where data is collected~~. ~~This means the serial number is unique at the unit level, but not across our data~~.

*[[L Person table|L Person]].Person_ID

*[[L Hospitalization]].Hospitalization_ID

== ~~Study Number~~ ==

== Legacy ==

~~A '''study number''' that is unique across the entire dataset is generated when the data is appended to Ed's database. The study~~ number ~~is unique across the entire data set.~~

*[[Legacy - Study numbers | Study numbers]]

*[[Index numbers]]

*[[Encounter number]]

== ~~Index Number~~ ==

=== batches ===

" ~~There was some discussion on index # as Julie uses this when compiling data related to the apache score.~~ "

To identify patients sent at the same time (the old concept for this was "batch") see [[L_Log]].SentDtTm

~~=== Discussion ===~~

~~The above is as per minutes from a meeting~~.~~.. what is the index number, and how is it used?~~

~~== Encounter Number ==~~

We used to have

~~"Definition of encounter # to be~~ number ~~of admissions to the database of the same patient. "~~

*[[Batch sent number]]

~~=== Discussion ===~~

*[[Batch append number]]

~~The above is as per minutes from a meeting... what is the encounter~~ number~~, and how is it used?~~
