Many patients don't have MB PHINs so we generate PseudoPHINs. I figured EPR must already solve this problem, and they use this field. We now get this as part of the Cognos data dump. If we set up the infrastructure to actually put this into patient records then we might be able to step away from the PseudoPhin process, and should have many fewer link errors.

  • Do all collectors now add records from Cognos only or do some still do manual entry? Manual entry would break any processes we change to use this. Ttenbergen 09:20, 2022 March 24 (CDT)

Implementation

This would likely replace Person ID field; Generate Person IDs would still need to be done to enter this into L_Person table.

_ccmdb_data_dev, _ccmdb_dev

  • add this field to L_Log table in CCMDB_data and Centralized_Data
  • add code so it's entered on patient generation
  • add the field to sending
  • review linking and related processes to see what could change to make best use of this

Do we even still need the L_Person table if we have this field? It contains last updated and death. Since we never got hospital deaths, we probably don't use that field. And I doubt we use the last-updated field - and in any case, it could easily be recreated from data, no need to store it. Unless of course we want to use it so we can streamline the re-checking and re-indexing of data somehow. Ttenbergen 09:28, 2022 March 24 (CDT)
