Collection instruction
The "Add Patient with Serial Helper" button on the Patient List launches a form that lets the collector pick a Service/Location. The form then proposes the next sequential Serial number based on the location chosen and any current or recently deleted records (we keep track since EPR Reports Integrator) on the laptop.
If no previous entry of that location is found, the number used for a new location as per Serial_number#Special-Use_Serial_Numbers will be used.
Question - Serial series per laptop or per Service/Location
|
Please put something like "per laptop" or "per unit", or narrative if it's more complicated than that:
- G9 - GRA_MICU -
- G8 - GRA_N3, GRA_N5 (N3a, N5a) -
- G7 - GRA_N5/GRA_S3 -
- H9 - old HSC_ICUa -
- H8 - old HSC_ICUb -
- H7 - old HSC_ICUd -
- H6 - HSC_A4 -
- H5 - HSC_B3 (& HSC_WRS3) -
- H4 - HSC_D5 and HSC_D4_COVID -
- H3 - HSC_H4 -
- S9 - old STB_ACCU -
- S8 - old STB_CICU -
- S7 - old STB_MICU (MISI) -
- S6 - old STB_MedB (STB_B5/STB_IMCU) -
- S5 - old STB_MedA (STB_E6_B) -
- S4 - old STB_MedD (STB_E5) -

Background
Data collectors currently collect one or more locations from one or more pools of serial number pools. Details of the serial number system are located in Serial number. This has been flagged as one reason why people find paper printouts of the most recent patients sent useful.
Serial numbers have to be unique for a collection location, so if a ward like HSC_H4H is collected on by multiple collectors then a serial number must never be re-used. This is currently achieved by assigning blocks of numbers for each 100 possible serial numbers to a given collector (again, see Serial number for details).
A serial number must be entered before any other data since access uses it to set the relationships for the data. To accomplish that, function new_pat_id() opens a window requesting the serial number pops up when "add new patient" is clicked on the patient list.
The need to keep track of this is one reason given by collectors to keep using the Data collection log form. We would like to eliminate reasons for this additional paperwork.
