If your chart number system uses leading zeros, don't enter the leading zeros, start with the first non-zero number.

== Pt Doe ==
 
Patient is admitted as an unknown "Pt Doe". They are given a new chart number.
*At HSC the chart number for Doe starts with: 300 then 5 digits. Total 8 digits.
*During a patients stay or after discharge from hospital,  Health records may find a match to previous chart and they merge 300.....chart number with original chart number.
*Data Collectors use the number that Admitting gave John Doe for his entire stay unless they notice the update of chart number if MR finds it before discharge.
*Data Collectors also enter in the [[Alias ID collection]] in the tmp project the alternate MRN, Name or other identifier, eg PHIN.
