Identification Numbers: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

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.

=== Wrongly entered serial numbers on PDA ===

===Serial Number Reuse===

*If you duplicated and serial number in Access [[CCMDB.mdb]] you can reuse it. This is unlike the [[HanDBase]]Program on the [[PDA]].

=== Wrongly entered serial numbers in [[HanDBase]] on the [[PDA]] ===

Sometimes the wrong serial number gets assigned to a patient. Due to the way [[HanDBase]] uses the serial number to relate records in different tables, '''serial numbers can not be changed once a patient has been entered into the PDA'''. If a serial number is changed, some or all of the related records such as diagnoses may go missing.
