I did not mean to suggest GNUmed is unable to do it, I only suggest  
that the identifiers are most important for interaction with external  
systems and of the doctor has staff who must interact with the  
external systems then such identifiers may already exist in these  
other systems and the doctor might not go the the trouble of entering  
them in GNUmed especially if it would be an extra workflow to do so.
