-The date and time formats for the Critical Care and Medicine Databasea are:
+The Critical Care and Medicine Databasea uses different date and time formats throughout as work best for their context. The dates are stored internally in a format-independent way, so we can change this to suit us.
-* in CCMDB.mdb
+* yy-mon-dd HH:mm (eg. 16-04-25 17:03) is used sometimes to save space, e.g. admit and discharge display on top of patient viewer
-** '''<day number> / <month name> / year'''
+* yyyy-month-dd (1960-Jan-01) is used in some places, eg DOB, tmp date,  in Patient viewer (any objections if I make it e.g. 1960-01-01 for consistency?)
-** '''HH:mm'''
+* yymonthdd HH:mm on patient list.
-*** on the 24 hour clock, use i.e. 00:01 – 23:59. Do not use 24:00 hrs
+* yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm (eg. 2016-04-25 17:03) is used in [[Category:2016 Time and Place changes]]
+** {{discussion}} this is the ISO standard, could we change all to that?
