***I would want a permanent log of all patients names, admit discharge dates, transfer locations and hospital numbers like I have now on paper to do me any good. I use my paper log to check where patients went, dates etc.I realize we cannot have a permanent log on the laptop because of PHIA. So I do not find the changes you made useful but confusing to look at and I do not like the now format. LOIS

=== why was the data combined? ===

Data was combined because a few collectors requested listing DOB, PHIN and chart #. If each gets its own column, and each column is wide enough to list the maximum likely value, then there is not enough space on the collection laptops screen to fit them all. By combining the fields in one column less "contingency" space for rare long entries is used since it combines for all fields.

**I do not see any data collectors wanting the dob, phin and chart number on the patient list page of CCMDB. According to the vote taken on the wiki, no one wants it this way. When will it be changed back??--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 14:17, 2012 October 9 (CDT)
