New Pt Serial helper form

The New Pt Serial helper form starts a new record in CCMDB.accdb. It is opened either by the "Add Patient with Serial Helper" button or the "+" button on the Cognos Admitter.

Instructions

Depending on how the form is opened and whether that process knows, the Service/Location may or may not be populated. The service location won't populate properly if the pt is an EMIP or in a Boarding Loc, since for these, there is no data in Cognos to match one of our Service/Location options.

The Pat ID/Serial number will be populated with the next higher number than the highest Pat ID/Serial number, independent of what Service/Location is chosen. See Facilitated Management of Serial numbers for the reasoning around this.
