[Gnumed-devel] External ID descriptions - shortname? |

When assigning the "name" and "issuer" of my external ID types stored in
dem.enum_ext_id_types
I had taken to a system like
issuer = variation of region.country (ISO)_organization
name = longName
for example
BC.CA_VCHA (<--- Vancouver Coastal Health Authority) name = 'Medical
Record Number'
BC.CA_MSP (<--- Medical Services Plan) name = 'Personal Health Number'
But such names are inefficient to use in patient care because we always think
(doctors and reception) in terms of
MRN
PHN
therefore I went back in via psql and renamed
'Medical Record Number' --> 'MRN Medical Record Number'
'Personal Health Number' --> 'PHN Personal Health Number'
which will more easily allow phrasewheel matching when creating patients.
I only wondered whether in the reference table it attracts anyone more than me
for us to establish in gnumed-future a 'shortname' column so as to support
MRN Medical Record Number
PHN Personal Health Number
in distinct columns?
