The e-mail address, as well as the Identifier document number optionally identify a patient. Besides this, to guarantee the existence of an identifier for each patient, a consecutive number is always automatically generated and internally assigned by the system. Moreover, patients of similar name, age and telephone number are detected as potential duplicates at creation time. On happening, a warning is displayed, and the laboratory technician can either modify the corresponding data or move ahead with the creation.
