Algorithm summary

collapsed so it doesn't look like steps the Data processor needs to do.

see encounter_processing module Sub Encounter_processor() for most current implementation clean out inconsistent data delete Person_IDs in L_Log where the Person_ID corresponds to more than one PHIN delete Person_IDs in L_Log for which no L_Person table entry exists delete records in L_Person table that have no counterpart in L_Log for each L_Log entry for which Person_ID is blank and recordstatus is not "incomplete" if a record matching PHIN doesn't exist in L_Person table generate record in L_Person table (set death to discharge date if deceased) update L_Log.Person_ID to that new record's Person_ID set L_Person table .last_updated to now if a record matching PHIN does exist in L_Person table add Person_ID to L_Log table update last_updated and death in L_Person table
