Re: Memory Allocation Question

Hello James

The practice of non-unique patient accounts is ongoing, and due to
business rules.  This is not a problem, per se, but now we are doing a
study that relates to repeat visits, and in order to know about if a
visit is a repeat or not, you first have to know if the person is the
same.

Thanks.
