Chart number: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

The number is assigned to a patient by Admitting. This is done once the patient has been seen by Triage in ER or new to the hospital for clinics, testing and various workups. This number remains the patient's chart number for all hospital visits, admissions, tests, etc.

== ~~No leading zeros~~ ==

== Collection instructions ==

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

=== Leading Zeros ===

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

=== Unclear or changing chart numbers ===

* [[Alias ID collection]]

* [[John or Jane Doe patient]]

* [[Stolen identities]]

=== Data Processing ===

== Data Processing ==

The Centralized_data_front_end.mdb has queries that make sure that the chart number for each Hospital site is the same for the same patient and make sure the chart number has valid format.

*query PL_SameCHART_Site_Diff_PHIN

Line 24:

Line 30:

*query PL_Chart_9_Digit

The [[Data Processor]] fixes any inconsistencies found from these queries by crosschecking from EPR and adds the alias identifier to the tmp project [[Alias ID collection]].

In addition, the [[Statistician]] uses SAS to check key identifiers so they are consistent for same patient including Hosp chart etc.
