Pre-linking checks

We collect data as ward-stays, but we then try to link records together to get data on the complete hospital stay. Prior to this linking the data needs to be checked for incomplete matches and errors.

Instructions

Processor to complete all PL every day In CFE

1. open the Patient List
2. run each "PL_" (Pre-linking) query in the following order:
   1. PL 1orphans - if any found, follow Orphans in Centralized data.mdb
   2. PL_2Phin Fake or Blank - if any found, follow Generating PseudoPHINs
   3. PL_Chart_9_Digit

3. if there is an error in any of the queries follow the instructions in Processing errors in patient data to correct them.

SMW list of PL queries for reference
