  • Ticket #906 – Description

    initial v1  
    1 The SCAN-B ID that is used to keep track of all items is sensitive information that we should avoid to use externally. We should add a new unique identifier to Case, Specimen, NoSpecimen and Blood (including fullow-up blood) items. A simple running number that is zero-padded to 5 digits should be ok (same as we currently do for naming Patient items). Use 'C' as prefix for Case items, and 'S' as prefix for specimen/nospecimen and 'B' for blood. If a case is arriving with multiple tubes, each tube should have it's own unique identifier.
     1The SCAN-B ID that is used to keep track of all items is sensitive information that we should avoid to use externally. We should add a new unique identifier to Patient, Case, Specimen, NoSpecimen and Blood (including fullow-up blood) items. A simple running number that is zero-padded to 6 digits should be ok (same as we currently do for naming Patient items). Use 'P' as prefix for Patients, 'C' as prefix for Case items, and 'S' as prefix for specimen/nospecimen and 'B' for blood. If a case is arriving with multiple tubes, each tube should have it's own unique identifier.

    33The new identifier should be saved in the "External ID" field.
    … …  
    55Other tools can then use the external identifiers instead of the SCAN-B ids. For example:
    66
    7 1234567.1.l.r.lib --> PAT00001.C00001.S00001.l.r.lib
     71234567.1.l.r.lib --> P000001.C000001.S000001.l.r.lib
    88
     9Other notes:
     10
     11 * Since we are already using a similar scheme for the 'name' of Patients, the we should create random gaps in the external id sequence. For example by randomly incrementing with 2 instead of 1.
     12 * Cases that are created as placeholder for retracted items should not have en external id.
