** Julie did additional analysis by looking at the distribution of the '''last two digits''' numbers from last 5 years 2014 to 2018 as follows: 1) all sites together, 2) each site separately 3) each year from all sites separately and 4) each site and year - the distributions showed similarity with few peaks in some numbers. She grouped the last two digits numbers into a) 10 subgroups (e.g. 0-9,10-19,20-29, …, 90-99 ) and b) 20 subgroups (e.g. 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, …, 95-99) and their distributions showed uniformly across subgroups. Each of the 10 subgroups showed counts close to 10% while each of the 20 subgroups showed counts close to 5%. The histograms are in ''X:\CCMDB_Special_Projects\Project_PatientFollow_ChartNumberDistribution''. The results support the viability of using the last two digits of the chart number in allocating patients among the data collectors.
