Generating PseudoPHINs

This article describes how the Data Processor generates PseudoPHINs.

Instructions

• run query NDC_Phin Fake or Blank to find patients without a PHIN
• for each patient on the list,
  • click the "cat" button (it's really two hands being shaken...) to bring up possible matches for that patient if he/she has been encountered before
  • if one of these matches the patient
    • copy (ctrl-c) the PHIN
    • open the patient's record
    • paste (ctrl-v) the PHIN into the PHIN field
  • if none matches the patient,
    • if it makes sense for the pt to not have a PHIN (Template:Discussion steps? KEA? other?Ttenbergen 22:41, 2014 September 29 (CDT))
      • generate a PseudoPHIN:
        1. open the patient
        2. click the pseudo button to the left of the PHIN field label
        3. the program will look up the highest previous PseudoPHIN and enter that + 1 into the PHIN field

• There was reference to "sort 'RecStatus' by ZtoA "; that probably means that incomplete patients should be excluded from this query. If so, let Tina know Template:Discussion.Ttenbergen 22:41, 2014 September 29 (CDT)

• There was reference to "sort by LastName"; I can't imagine why, could you explain? Template:DiscussionTtenbergen 22:41, 2014 September 29 (CDT)
