In the "Contact details" section, in place of the hard-coded labels like Home 
Phone, 
we should instead display pairs of values (id_type reference and the "url" i.e. 
the 
phone number) drawn from the comm_channel table. A method by which to choose or 
manage a sort-order for any individual's values is not yet clear. The 
no-brainer may 
be to just alpha-sort those that are available:

email
fax
home_phone
mobile
web
work_phone

The above would also support more than one number of any one type (e.g. if a 
patient 
has two homes or places of work), whereas what was shown in the .png would 
require 
the id_type values to be parsed and could get messy across languages and even 
variations in spelling. I do agree it would be usual for Home and Work to be 
presented as a pair, and probably desirable. A sort order could be added to the 
enum-comm-types table and would permit designating:
1. home_phone
2. work_phone
3. mobile
4. fax
5. email
6. web

the user would see whatever was in the database; empty values would be 
irrelevant to 
display:

home_phone (value)
home_phone (value)
work_phone (value)

in the schema we have lnk_identity2comm_chan and lnk_person_org_address and 
lnk_org2comm_chan but I gather there is no link of individuals to phone numbers 
_at_  
an organization, i.e. phone numbers are entered independently for individuals 
and 
organizations? If that is correct then there is no relevance to displaying, on 
the 
demographic screen, a phone number for the organization at which a patient 
works?

completed)

I have seen "Financially Responsible Agency (FRA) #" used. As patients will 
vary in 
some of the applicable FRAs, an abbreviation for the FRA may be necessary to 
display 
alongside. Would we want a sort-order scheme for the entitlement card section 
something like what I described for contact details?
