Re: [Health-dev] Should PUID be a compulsory field when creating new patients?

[address@hidden]

Thanks for the replies on this important issue.

I think that GNU Health 
should, by default, create a temporary patient number e.g. - "TPN-00001" - if 
an actual patient number is not entered in the PUID field.

It should then be 
possible to over-ride this temporary number when the correct patient ID number 
is known.
