Serial number

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.

Special-Use Serial Numbers

As of 26 October 2010, special use serial numbers are:

• Serial numbers <10 are used as test data.
• Serial numbers 111 to 140 were used for the Peer Audit.

• At what number does a new location start using serial numbers? Ttenbergen 15:08, 26 October 2010 (CDT)

Serial Number Reuse

A serial number in CCMDB.mdb can be re-used once the patient record that used it has been deleted. For example, if you entered a pt twice, with separate numbers and deleted one then you can re-use the deleted number for another patient. (This would have caused problems in HanDBase/PDA, but is fine on the laptops.)
