A random number generated by Access when a new line is added.
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.accdb]].[[L_Log table]].Person_ID .


It would be permanently stored and therefore remain the same for new encounters of that patient in L_Log/L_PHI, but if an L_Person record were ever deleted and recreated it would NOT receive the same ID next time around.  
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]].  


The '''Person_ID''' field in [[Centralized_data.mdb]]'s [[L_Person table]] contains a unique id per patient that combines the [[D_ID]]s across admissions.  
As of 2019-02-06, Person_ID doesn't show in any form in [[CFE]].


{{discussion}} The [[L_Person table]], it doesn't have a D_ID. It seems to be populated, though: the last_update column's dates are recent. I think we may have abandoned this process in mid-build. Do we need to discuss? Ttenbergen 12:10, 2017 September 18 (CDT)
== 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.
