Yakuza: Like a Dragon To Get Seven Free DLC Packs, First DLC Details Revealed
January 15, 2020 by George
If you are excited for Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which comes out later this year in America, you probably already know that these games have had free DLC updates since the release of Yakuza 3 and this new game isn't any different.
While we don't know the release schedule of these DLC items in the West, we do know the release schedule for the Japanese release (they start releasing tomorrow):
The first pack that SEGA is releasing is called the 'Support Pack Vol. 1' which will add a new 'Cleanup Crew' costume and the following support items:
Atlus & SEGA Creators Talk 2020 and Future Goals
January 1, 2020 by George
The Japanese gaming website 4Gamer & Famtisu runs a piece every year talking to Japanese developers about their yearly goals, every New Years. This time it seems a bit special considering we are going into a brand new decade, 2020. Or is it 2021?
Most of the answers here from Atlus and one SEGA developer comes from the Famitsu article and was translated by Gematsu.
Let's Remember Sonic Unleashed 11 Years After Release – Twitter Edition
SEGA's Sonic Unleashed was a very important game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, it was the birth of a brand new 'boost Sonic' formula that would extend to Sonic Colors, Generations and even the latest Forces video game. At the same time it was also the start of focusing on Sonic and abandoning the friends that became mainstay since the release of Sonic Adventure.
To celebrate, I asked on Twitter what our audience thought about Sonic Unleashed, all these 11 years later. First we had a 3 hour long poll that got 459 votes and hot takes from fans:
Persona character designer creates a new character for Project Sakura Wars
We heard not that long ago that SEGA and Atlus are working on a new game for next generation consoles, but it seems that development teams are already working together. It was announced that Persona character designer Shigenori Soejima actually worked on a unique character for Project Sakura Wars, introducing Hakushu Murasame (pictured above).
She was revealed during a Project Sakura Wars Japanese stream, where it showed her talking to her student, Sakura Amamiya and Seijuro Kaimiyama. She plays a competent, composed character through the presentation. We also know she will be voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro who played Elizabeth from the Velvet Room attendant and made her debut in Persona 3. While Hakushu Mursame is getting the attention, it seems that Ken Sugimori (Pokemon) is also making a character for the game, which is shown off in this new video.
You can check out the two hour Project Sakura Wars stream right here. So this project has the redesign done by Tite Kubo (Bleach), Shigenori Soejima (Persona), Ken Sugimori (Pokemon), and even Noizi Ito (Fire Emblem Heroes)? That's quite the art team.
Space Channel 5 Getting 20th Anniversary Greatest Hits Album Featuring Over 50 Tracks
While it doesn't seem to get a lot of hype online, it seems that SEGA is bringing back Space Channel 5 with the release of Space Channel 5 VR: Kinda Funky News Flash and now with a 20th Anniversary album release featuring over 50 tracks from the series' greatest tunes across two CDs. The release promises remixes, drama tracks and six new tracks from the upcoming VR title.
You can see the album cover above, which shows off Ulala sporting her new Space Channel 5 VR yellow outfit, which seems to be her new '20th Anniversary' color? The 2 CD disc will feature a booklet with commentary from composer Naofumi Hataya and narrative designer Takumi Yoshinaga. You can get the import via iam8bit for $39.99, if you are interested.
Streets of Rage 4 will hit Xbox Game Pass next year
We already posted that the Yakuza games are coming to Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass, which we posted. But now we got another SEGA classic coming to Xbox Game Pass… Streets of Rage 4! You can check out the full Game Pass line-up so far in the screenshot above.
It seems that Microsoft is going all in with their Game Pass, are you interested?
Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2 coming to Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass
SEGA has just announced at X019 in London that SEGA America and Ryu Ga Gotoku studio will be bringing three Yakuza games not just to Xbox One and Xbox One X, but also the Xbox One Game Pass. If you don't know what Game Pass is, its basically Microsoft's SEGA Channel or Netflix service where you pay monthly to play all the games you want in a revolving number of titles.
This is huge news, now if only SEGA could port these games on the Nintendo Switch, then everyone will be happy!
Shenmue III finally gets a launch trailer, marching closer to release
Shenmue III has been rumored since I first started coming online as a little Georgie boy, it was one of the main reasons I joined the SEGA community. Then we got a Kickstarter and waited some more, but it seems that we are very close to 'not waiting' for Shenmue III since its coming out in a few days on November 19, 2019. Now we get to enjoy a launch trailer above.
Streets of Rage 4 'Behind the Gameplay' video ensures classic fans to stay excited
The publisher behind Streets of Rage 4 posted up a "Behind the Gameplay" video allowing us to see the environment, people and tools being used to bring a 'brand new' 'classic feeling' Streets of Rage 4. One of the cool bits is around the 2 minute mark where they are playing the animation from Streets of Rage 4 side by side with Streets of Rage 2. They both move exactly the same, which will make Streets or Rage 4 have that heavy feel we all love in the originals.
Part of the video talks about the engine being used, which was created by Guard Crush Games, and how easy it is to modify things within the game. They even go into combos and we have the development team showing off Street Fighter III combos that inspired them? Is this game gonna get that crazy?
SEGA teasing new Mission Impossible arcade game reveal at IAAPA Expo 2019
SEGA Amusement, the part of SEGA that specializes in arcade games has released the above image as a teaser for IAAPA Expo 2019. The posts description read: "Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It… #IAAPA2019 #IAAPA #MissionImpossible #YourMission" which is a catchphrase of the Mission Impossible franchise. Not only that, they literally have a hashtag for Mission Impossible in the post and the icon of Paramount can be seen on the left hand corner.
If this becomes true, it should be interesting to see what SEGA does with the IP. In the past SEGA has made arcade games for big IPs like Die Hard, Transformers and even Rambo. I guess we shall see soon since IAAPA Expo 2019 takes place this November 19 through the 22nd in Orlando, Florida.
Virtua Fighter Mii Fighter costumes return to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
November 6, 2019 by George
The new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Nintendo Direct was streamed, showing off the brand new DLC character Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury/King of Fighters, part of the announcement included the 'Mii Fighter Costumes #4' DLC; which included new King of Fighter themed outfits but also the return of the Akira and Jacky outfits from Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS.
Each of these costumes will cost you $0.75 USD each and can be purchased today.
Persona 5 Royal debuts in first place in Japan, beats out Luigi's Mansion 3 and Mario & Sonic at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games
It looks like its a big month for SEGA and Atlus in Japan since they released both Persona 5 Royal and Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games come out the same week. Surprisingly enough, Persona 5 Royal (201,448 units sold) did so well that it beat Nintendo's Luigi's Mansion 3 (150,649 units) by over 50k units.
I think its surprising because Persona 5 Royal is a 'complete' version of Persona 5 which launched with 264,793 units on PS4 (72,974 units on PS3). Sure, Persona 5 Royal sold less than the original but its still selling better than the last 'highest selling Persona game' before Persona 5, Persona 4 Golden which launched with 137,076 units. This shows you that re-releasing acclaimed games with more content isn't a bad strategy and it seems Atlus fans come out and purchase these new versions.
Nintendo fans might think its disappointing to see Luigi's Mansion 3 on Nintendo Switch not make it at number one, but this entry is the highest selling entry in Japan with 150,649 units compared to Luigi's Manson: Dark Moon which launched with 110,840 units in 2013.
But what about Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games?
Sonic Mania developer Headcannon launches Kickstarter for new game called Vertebreaker
October 31, 2019 by George
If you've been enjoying Sonic Mania and wanted to know what the teams behind the game have been up to, we got our answer for Headcannon games. It seems that Headcannon has been working on Vertebreaker and has now launched a Kickstarter. According to the project's description:
"Rest in Peace?!" You wish! "Vertebreaker" is a brand-new and authentic pixel-based side-scroller from Headcannon, the studio that helped bring "Sonic Mania" to the masses. Starring a stubby-yet-seemingly-unstoppable skeleton who's thrashing their way to victory, it's gothic, cartoonish, and unabashedly retro!
Take control of our bony hero in a crusade to crush the undead and look cool while doing it! In "Vertebreaker", traversal is key as you slash, bash, and grapple your way through the most wicked 2D adventure yet! "What is 'traversal'"? It's slinging, swinging, and launching from floors, walls, and ceilings to propel yourself forward or even upward with serious speed!
Save the day with our pearly-boned mascot, their mysterious golden half-skull, and their sick grappling hook made from the spine of a demon! "What demon"? It doesn't matter … does it … ?
Vertebreaker is only seeking 275,000 dollars to make the project, with tiers allowing backers to transform the final game. Some of the high tiers, like the one for $500 dollars even allows you to design enemies. But if you just want a regular digital copy, its at the $15 dollar tier which includes your name in the credits. You can also try the Vertebreaker demo right now on PC and see if the game is for you. So far the game is only announced for PC and is suppose to come out Q3 2021, if the project games founded. One of the extended tiers includes a Nintendo Switch port at $330,000. Pretty smart to launch this Kickstarter on Halloween.
Alien: Isolation Nintendo Switch port gets gameplay and content reveal trailer
If you guys remember this last E3,that there was a Alien: Isolation Nintendo Switch port announced. While the original game was published by SEGA and developed in-house by The Creative Assembly studio; it seems this Switch port will be handled by Feral Interactive but the publisher isn't be listed anywhere I checked and seeing that all updates are going through Feral Interactive, I doubt SEGA has a hand in publishing this title.
As for this version of Alien: Isolation,this version will include all 7 DLCs from the original release including the highly acclaimed 'Last Survivors' DLC which includes the original movie cast.
Isn't it strange that this is a in-house created SEGA game but they aren't (probably) publishing it?
SEGA and Atlus working on New IP for Next Generation consoles
Posted over at Persona Central, taken directly for the Dengeki PlayStation Vol. 681 magazine which features a interview with Toshihiro Nagoshi where he talks about the future of the company. He talks about new IP creation for next generation, how IPs will be valuable for the next generation and Project Sakura Wars.


Fourth large sharks have been killed in Australia after a woman and a 12-year-old girl were attacked at a popular Great Barrier Reef tourist spot.
"While sharks of this size are potentially very dangerous to humans, it is unclear if they were responsible for injuries caused to two swimmers," he said.
The spokesman said it was clear "there are a significant number of active sharks in local waters and people are urged not to swim".
Shark attacks are very rare in the Whitsundays — a collection of spectacular tropical islands at the heart of the Barrier Reef — with the last encounter reported to be eight years ago, according to national broadcaster ABC.
New South Wales, the country's most populous state, has trialled non-lethal measures such as aerial drones to track sharks' movements and "smart" drum lines that alert authorities to their presence.

gmail

google

<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

I want to open the above url's in different windows. Once the url's are loaded, the windows should close itself without any alerts. The below javascript code lets the url's open in different windows. But it closes only 'google.com' and the html webpage. The 'gmail' website remains open.
var submit = document.getElementById("submit");

submit.onclick = function() {
    var getLinks = document.getElementsByClassName("one");

    for(var i=0; i<=(getLinks.length-1); i++) {

Citi Field: Travel Guide for a Mets Game in New York
United States New York New York City
All New York City
Things to Know When Going to a Mets Game at Citi Field
James Thompson is a former writer for TripSavvy, covering sports travel for two years. An avid fan since birth, James follows most sports under the sun.
They may not have performed as well on the field over the years, but the New York Mets beat the New York Yankees when it comes to having the better ballpark. Opened in the same year, Citi Field in Queens provides a more enjoyable to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx because it serves as a baseball stadium and not a museum. With better food and more off-field enjoyment, Citi Field may not be one of the 10 best ballparks in Major League Baseball, but it's knocking on the door.
Tickets & Seating Areas
There was a lot of concern that Mets tickets would be hard to come by when the team moved to Citi Field, but a decrease in team performance has resulted in plenty of ticket supply. On the primary ticketing side, you can buy tickets through the Mets either online, via phone, or at the Citi Field box office. The primary market on the Mets website allows you to see the dynamic pricing, which adjusts pricing at real-time based on market demand. Tickets start as low as $11 based on date and opponent. There's plenty of inventory and options for the secondary market. Obviously you have the well-known options like Stubhub and Ebay or a ticket aggregator (think Kayak for sports tickets) like SeatGeek and TiqIQ.
There aren't many bad sightlines in Citi Field, so you'll be able to enjoy your baseball from many different sections. Unlike some other ballparks, I wouldn't say there's truly an area to sit in Citi Field that you would enjoy more than others. (By contrast, Fenway Park has Green Monster seats or the Budweiser deck in right field.). The most unique seats at Citi Field are in the Party City Deck in left field, which was created when ownership decided to move the fences in a few years ago. They're only available, however, for group sales. There's also the Pepsi porch in right field, which provide the closest thing Citi Field has to bleachers.
Promenade Gold (400 level) behind home plate is the best value in the house. Those seats behind have a good view and are affordable compared to some other seats. You can generally find reasonable prices based on your budget with key areas being the outfield areas in the field level, the Caesar's Club level, or unobstructed seats in the Promenade level.
It's very easy to get to Citi Field. Travelers from Manhattan should take the #7 subway from either Times Square - 42nd Street or Grand Central - 42nd Street, two stops easily accessible via bus, subway, or taxi from other areas of Manhattan. The #7 train makes stops in Queens as it rolls on to Flushing Meadow so you could always hop on that way as well. Those coming from the Upper East Side can take the N or the R subway line and connect in Queensboro Plaza, while those near the E, F, M and R can find the #7 at Roosevelt Avenue. The Long Island Railroad runs a train out to Mets-Willets Point Station from Penn Station, the Woodside Station, or anywhere on the Port Washington line. Should you decide to drive, there's more than ample parking surrounding Citi Field run by the Mets.
Move on to page two for more information about attending a Mets game at Citi Field.
Pregame & Postgame Fun
Unfortunately there aren't many options to enjoy food and drinks around Citi Field. A big renovation is in the area's future, but for now visitors are limited to the McFadden's bar located outside of the park in the left field area. You can't go in and out during the game, but you can enter into Citi Field to go into the game through there. If you're willing to get a little creative, stop at Donovan's in the Woodside of Queens, right off the 7 train, for one of the best burgers in New York City. There's also great Chinese food in Flushing with Hunan Kitchen, Xi'an Famous Foods, and Corner 28 being on the top of the list of places to check out.
At the Game
The best part about attending a game at Citi Field is the food. There are numerous great options connected to the New York City food culture! But you need to prepare accordingly since the lines can get excessively long. For starters there's Shake Shack, New York's #1 local burger chain that's now expanded worldwide. The burgers and shakes are very good, but you'll wait on line for at least two innings. The best way to get Shake Shack is to show up to the game 30 minutes early because the line isn't as long and worst case you'll get your food just as the game is beginning. The newer Pat LaFreida steak sandwich and meatball sandwich stands next to Shake Shack )are also very good, but have the same line issue. Getting on those lines before the game starts Is another good idea. There's also a second location in the Promenade level behind home plate.
Of lines aren't your thing and you couldn't get to the game that early, there are still plenty of good food options. Blue Smoke on the other side of Shack Shack in center field normally doesn't have a long line and offers very good barbecue including pulled pork and wings. Those in favor of seafood should grab a flounder sandwich or a lobster roll from Catch of the Day in right-center field. Mama's of Corona has been a favorite of many for years now with their Italian sub sandwich and cannoli being offered in the food court in right field or in the upper deck behind home plate. The food options continue with Two Boots for pizza, El Verano Taqueria for tacos, and Box Frites for Belgian fries in the center field food area. There's also Empire State Craft in center field and behind home plate in the Promenade area for all your beer needs
There's also a fan fest in center field with plenty of things for the kids before the game or between innings. Between the dunk tank, video games, a batting and appearances from Mr. Met, there's plenty of ways to keep your young ones entertained.
Hotel rooms in New York are as expensive as any city in the world, so don't expect to catch a break on pricing. They're cheaper in the summer, but things can get pretty expensive in the spring. There are numerous brand name hotels in and around Times Square, but you might be best served not staying in such a highly-trafficked location. You're not that bad off as long as you're within a subway ride of the 7 train. Travelocity offers last minute deals if you're scrambling a few days before you attend the game. Alternatively, you can look into renting an apartment via AirBNB. People in Manhattan always so apartment availability should be reasonable at any time of the year.

I recently took a stroll with Murray Moss and David Rockwell to find out the backstory of their first collaboration, the décor of Chefs Club by Food & Wine, a new restaurant in the Puck Building.
Design giants David Rockwell, left, and Murray Moss, right, on our tour of Chefs Club. "This is what happens when you put two gypsies together," Moss says, laughing. "We come together, I think, on the theatricality." The 6,000-square-foot collaboration between Food & Wine and a private developer is set within the Puck Building and its majestic interior architecture. Rockwell asked Moss to conceive site-specific installations within the space.
The entrance offers a window into the kitchen. "Our goal for Chefs Club was to capture the mind of a chef, so we crafted an environment that dissolves the boundaries between the chef and guests," Rockwell says.
One enters via the bar area, a section of which is shown here. The first-floor dining space is composed of four areas: the bar-lounge, the main dining room, the open kitchen, and the private dining room (not shown).
Sitting at one of the marble-topped counters gives you a bird's-eye view of the theater of the kitchen. The restaurant's culinary program revolves around a crew of visiting top chefs working under director Didier Elena and Dana Cowin, the editor-in-chief of Food & Wine and talent scout. The dual-glazed tiles on the wall are by California-based Heath Ceramics.
I ask Moss to explain this 1,350-pound shard of Himalayan pink salt in the vitrine suspended from the ceiling. "I don't know anything about food," he tells me. "So David sits me down with the chef, Didier Elena, and I don't even have a question to ask — what am I going to say to him? So it occurs to me to ask the common question: 'Do you put salt on the table?' That is where it started. I thought, He is either going to throw me out of the room or be a little bit polite." The ensuing salt conversation led Moss's team to research one of the best and oldest salt mines in Pakistan, where this behemoth comes from.
For the chefs' portraits, Moss says, he thought "it would be interesting to show these people not wearing tall white hats, but covered in tattoos, people that work out, a whole array." He didn't want head shots, but instead something particular to New York, which led him to Central Park, where he observed the portrait artists who do quickie likenesses in charcoal. The Chinese artist Ren stood out. Moss brought Ren photos of each chef, 60 in all.
I love this view of the restaurant toward the bar and entrance. You can see that Rockwell incorporated the space's dramatic architectural aspects — the massive columns and vaulted brick ceiling — into his design plan. As for his collaboration with Moss, there is more to come. "We have a lot of different ideas, which we put in reserve — so we'll see where that goes," Moss says. Stay tuned.


Thank you Germany. And I hope this will make other coalition countries to help the Syrian Kurdish forces to treat their wounded.
This regime is done and it was all a game to keep Iran and the region backwards. Islam and christianity is bad and do not belong in Iran or Kurdistan.

Q: Make column stretch to fill whatever space it can in Bootstrap I have this issue:

The html is as follows:

        <form class="form">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" />
        </form>

            A link
            Another link

Can you think of a responsive (bootstrap) way of making the search bartake up all space it can, and leave space for the 2 buttons on the side.
Notice the spacing between the 2 buttons, the button grouping styling was getting in the way... Perhaps you suggest using button groups?

A: What you're likely looking for, assuming you're using Bootstrap 3, is Justified Buttons. Red: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#btn-groups-justified
Example:

        <input type="text" class="form-control" />

          Left
          Right

JSFiddle: Note that this can be extended to more than one button.

Update
Since you need the input to scale without the buttons scaling, have you tried Segmented Buttons on an Input Group? Ref: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#input-groups-buttons-segmented

    <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="...">

        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button One</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button Two</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button Three</button>

JSFiddle: Note this won't give you a space between the buttons.

Q: .Net Framework Entity Framework: How to avoid inner select? I am using Entity Framework for the following:
Get the latest row where some columns are equal to X and Y. The LINQ looks like this (I have also tried to rewrite it as "FROM WHERE" statement, among other things, to no avail):
var logEvent = Context.Set<Log>().Where(e =>
            e.Id == id && e.MessageType == messageType)
            .OrderByDescending(e => e.DateTime)
            .FirstOrDefault();

I would expect this to generate the following:
SELECT TOP (1) *
FROM [dbo].[Log]
WHERE [Log].[Id] = @p__linq__0
AND [Log].[MessageType] = @p__linq__1
ORDER BY [Log].[DateTime] DESC

Instead it generates an inner Select that just iterates over the whole table, and the pick TOP 1 from the ordered rows.
(I have indexed DateTime and Id)
SELECT TOP (1) *
    FROM ( SELECT *
        FROM [dbo].[Log] AS [Extent1]
        WHERE ([Extent1].[Id] = @p__linq__0)
        AND ([Extent1].[MessageType] = @p__linq__1)
    )  AS [Project1]
    ORDER BY [Project1].[DateTime] DESC
GO

What is causing this inner SELECT?

A: FirstOrDefault() is the reason of translating LINQ query into SELECT TOP (1) FROM (another select)

A: @Bagus Tesa directed me to the correct answer. Thank you all.
Doing the OrderBy() FIRST was the solution.
The following LINQ query generates the expected query:
var logEvent = Context.Set<Log>()
.OrderByDescending(e => e.DateTime)
.FirstOrDefault(e => (e.Id == id) && e.MessageType == messageType));

I also tested in case I wanted more than 1 result row:
var importLogEvent1 = Context.Set<ImportLog>()
.OrderByDescending(e => e.DateTime)
.Where(e => (e.Id == id) && e.MessageType == messageType))
.Take(5);

This also generated a "clean" SQL query.
NOTE: As some have pointed out, the generated SQL query even though it looked "bad", might very well have resulted in a equally good execution plan. I did not look into this.


The Land Trust acquired 11 acres on Bare Hill—the iconic promontory overlooking Canandaigua Lake's eastern shore. The property is located off of North Vine Valley Road in the town of Middlesex, Yates County, in close proximity to New York State's Bare Hill Unique Area.
Bare Hill is well known in the region for its scenic views as well as its place in Seneca lore. Legend has it that a mighty serpent encircled an Indian village that once stood there – swallowing residents until it was slain by a brave young boy. In its death throes, the snake cleared the land and swept the hill bare.
The entirely wooded parcel—which represents the organization's seventh project in the area—will be conveyed to New York State as an addition to Bare Hill Unique Area when funds become available. The Land Trust hopes to work with the state, and other partners, to construct a hiking trail on nearby conserved lands from the lakeshore to the summit of Bare Hill.
Elsewhere within the Canandaigua Lake watershed, the Land Trust has worked in partnership with Ontario County to establish Grimes Glen County Park, and with the Town of South Bristol to create Carolabarb Park. The organization has also partnered with the Town of Canandaigua to protect two farms as well as wetlands off Middle Cheshire Road. Near the south end of Canandaigua Lake, the Land Trust owns and manages hundreds of acres of conservation land and has worked with New York State to conserve Conklin Gully.


Irène Curie was born in Paris, France, on September 12, 1897. The daughter of Pierre and Marie Curie, she studied at the Faculty of Science at the Sorbonne, but her education was interrupted by World War I, during which she served as a nurse radiographer. After the war, she earned her doctorate in science, doing her thesis on the alpha rays of polonium.
In 1926, Curie married Frédéric Joliot (the couple both joined their surnames) and collaborated with him on natural and artificial radioactivity, transmutation of elements and nuclear physics. In 1935, they shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in recognition of their synthesis of new radioactive elements. In 1936, she was appointed Undersecretary of State for Scientific Research and was ultimately named an Officer of the Legion of Honour.
A member of several foreign academies and of numerous scientific societies, Joliot-Curie had honorary doctor's degrees from several universities. She was the Chair of Nuclear Physics at the Sorbonne. She became Professor in the Faculty of Science in Paris in 1937. She was a member of the Comite National de l'Union des Femmes Francaises and of the World Peace Council. In 1938, her research on the action of neutrons on the heavy elements was an important step in the discovery of nuclear fission.

A system (100) for providing multiple facility healthcare corporations the ability to assign and maintain shared medical record numbers (43) across multiple entities. The system establishes a parent/child relationship among the entities to share medical record number ranges, formats, and data. A patient record identifier database (102) contains patient records in a searchable unit record file (50) and an identification number file (3). A search processor (105) locates relevant records and a rules processor (104) applies various tests to the returned data in order to assign a medical record number (43, 13) to a single unique unit reference number (2, 5, 11) to a person without duplication or conflict with identifiers used at other entities (4, 9, 190). The reference numbers and their associated medical records are shared among the various entities. The sharing relationships may be altered by authorized users accessing on line file maintenance (312) and programs (311).
This is a non-provisional application of provisional application Ser. No. 60/364,539 by D. M. Thomas et al. filed Mar. 16, 2002.
This invention relates generally to a record keeping and database organization system, and more specifically to a system that permits multiple facility healthcare corporations to assign and maintain shared medical record numbers across multiple entities.
The healthcare industry has traditionally suffered from information fragmentation. Frequently, multiple medical record numbers are assigned to a patient who is cared for by each of several facilities within a multiple facility hospital organization, creating high volumes of duplicate medical record numbers and causing other waste of, e.g. prelabeled folders. Maintaining decentralized or multiple Medical Records Departments within a multientity organization causes additional overhead costs. This practice results in multiple medical record numbers being assigned to a patient who is cared for by several facilities, inevitably causing confusion regarding a patient's medical record data. The workflow of hospital personnel is often less accurate due to the multiple locations of patient medical record information. Impaired access to complete patient information hinders a physician's ability to properly treat the patient.
Numerous attempts have been made to simplify the collection and integration of medical records by a large healthcare provider. One method is to surrender to the multiplicity of records and simply attempt to locate all of them at any given moment. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,899,998, entitled METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MAINTAINING AND UPDATING COMPUTERIZED MEDICAL RECORDS, issued on May 4, 1999 to McGauley et al., discloses a device for collecting the medical record data by having each patient carry a portable data storage device such as a "smart card" which is sensed by various point of service stations distributed around the healthcare facility. U.S. Pat. No. 6,333,690, entitled WIDE AREA MULTIPURPOSE TRACKING SYSTEM, issued on Dec. 25, 2001 to Nelson et al., is also related to locating the medical record by means of a radio transmitter or similar device.
Reliance on a computer database to retrieve inherently fragmented data creates additional problems. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,974,389, entitled MEDICAL RECORD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND PROCESS WITH IMPROVED WORKFLOW FEATURES issued on Oct. 26, 1999 to Clark et al., is related to sharing a computer database, and the problem of preventing simultaneous viewing of medical records by those, such as a pharmacist and a physician, who should be aware of the other's action. Thus, the Clark et al. system insures that records are viewed in a serial fashion. On the other hand, U.S. Pat. No. 6,347,329, entitled ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS SYSTEM, issued on Feb. 12, 2002 to Evans explicitly permits simultaneous access to fragmented medical records.
Many computer based medical record systems are in fact nothing more than a search engine designed to retrieve multiple, widely dispersed data. U.S. Pat. No. 6,304,848, entitled MEDICAL RECORD FORMING AND STORING APPARATUS AND METHOD RELATED TO SAME, issued on Oct. 16, 2001 to Singer discloses a system of medical records management based on searches of common elements such as medical terms. U.S. Pat. No. 6,263,330, entitled METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DATA FILES, issued on Jul. 17, 2001 to Bessette provides a network system for storage of medical records. The records are stored in a database on a server. Each record includes two main parts, namely a collection of data elements containing information of a medical nature for a certain individual, and a plurality of pointers providing addresses or remote locations where other medical data for that particular individual resides.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 2002/0007284, entitled SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING A GLOBAL MASTER PATIENT INDEX, published on Jan. 17, 2002 and filed by Schurenberg et al., discloses a global master patient index (GMPI). The GMPI performs functions such as locating patient records, locating duplicate records for a selected patient, printing a selected patient record with all its duplicate patient records, reconciling potential duplicate patient records found while searching and retrieving a patient's record, final reconciliation (certification) of suspected duplicate patients records, maintaining a persistent relationship between patient records in the GMPI, and maintaining a reconciliation audit trail.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 2001/0051879, entitled SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING SECURITY FOR A DISTRIBUTED HEALTHCARE APPLICATION, filed by Johnson et al., discloses a health data network that allows storage of patient record information in a parent/child relationship using a global master patient index to integrate patient record information used either by multiple facility healthcare organizations or by a single business with multiple sites or computer databases.
The present invention assigns shared medical record numbers across multiple entities. This allows hospitals to assign the same medical record number for a patient throughout their organization, thereby eliminating multiple medical record numbers from being assigned to a patient who is cared for by several different facilities. The present invention reduces the number of duplicate medical record numbers across entities within a multiple facility organization, eliminates the need to maintain multiple Medical Records Departments within a multiple facility organization and improves the accuracy of the medical record number assignment process. A material cost savings will also be realized as duplicate physical record volumes decline.
The present invention simplifies the workflow of hospital personnel by consolidating their work environment. This results in greater accuracy of patient medical information and the possible reduction of staffing costs. The present invention allows data that is associated with one medical record number per patient to be stored in one location, regardless of the number of remote locations the patient has visited within the multiple entity organization. The existence of only one medical record per patient minimizes the need to reconcile duplicate patient records and the need to maintain multiple records is avoided. This invention can be used by hospitals, long term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, outpatient clinics and physician offices that assign and maintain patient health record numbers.
FIG. 18 is a pictorial representation of a display which permits multiple medical record number ranges to be entered by the user of the present invention.
Large corporations having multiple departments, entities, or facilities that maintain a Central Business Office (CBO) can, according to the principles of the present invention, also create a Central Medical Records Department (CMRD). The CMRD environment includes a centralized medical records staff, shared medical record numbers that are available to multiple departments or entities, and a centralized filing system. Referring to FIG. 1, the Record Management System 100 establishes a parent/child relationship among each hospital entity 110, 112, 114 and 116, for example, in order to share medical record number ranges, formats, and data. A child record is an entity record that points to a parent record for the medical record number range. A parent record is an entity record that controls the record number range for other entities, such as child records. A record number range is a medical record number assignment controlled by a series of numbers between a beginning and ending number.
Medical record personnel organize the shared medical record numbers, their associated medical record number format, and their shared number ranges through online file maintenance. The Record Management System 100 includes a system server 101 housing or accessing a patient record identifier database 102, a rules processor 104 for examining the identifiers of database 102 and a search processor 105 which determines for each entity 110, 112, 114 and 116 the identifier associated with a particular patient. The rules processor 104 includes an identifier generator which produces available identification numbers when a new identifier is needed.
The first scenario 201 is the admission of a patient who does not have a medical record number at any of the other facilities in the hospital. In this situation, the patient will be assigned the lowest available medical record number that has not already been assigned at any of the sharing entities.
The second scenario 202 is the admission of a patient who has a medical record number only at the current facility. In this scenario, the patient will keep the existing medical record number for the current admitting entity.
The third scenario 203 is the admission of a patient who has a medical record number at one of the other two facilities but not the current facility. In this case the patient will be assigned the same medical record number that already exists in any of the other sharing entities.
The fourth scenario 204 is the admission of a patient who has a medical record number at the current facility and a different medical record number at one of the other facilities. The fourth scenario 204 can only exist if historical medical record data was created prior to the implementation of the present invention. In this situation the patient retains the existing medical record number for the current admitting entity.
The fifth scenario 205 is the admission of a patient who has different medical record numbers at other facilities (a relic of a prior record keeping system) but does not have a medical record number in the current facility. The rules processor 104 will cause the patient to be assigned the lowest medical record number of the two existing numbers previously assigned by the other entities.
The sixth scenario 206 is the admission of a patient who has different medical record numbers at all three facilities. This scenario can only exist if historical medical record data was created prior to the implementation of a shared medical record numbers system. In this case the rules processor 104 assigns the patient the existing medical record number for the current admitting entity.
The seventh scenario 207 addresses the admission of a patient who has a medical record number in the second entity and is being admitted to the first entity, but a different patient in the first entity already has the same medical record number. This can happen only if historical medical record data was created prior to sharing medical record numbers. The rules processor 104 does not permit the sharing of the same medical record number between different patients. Hence, a new medical record number will be assigned to the patient by rules processor 104.
The system server 101 includes physical files 106 (e.g. disk drives) within the record management system 100. Multiple database fields are defined in each physical file 106 to store specific data elements. A complete set of the database fields is also referred to as a record. A physical file 106 can contain a number of individual records. System server 101 also utilizes logical files 107 to provide different views of the physical files 106. These physical and logical files 106, 107 are grouped together and stored in (or accessed by) application-specific software libraries 1 and 108, for example, based on the purpose of the software. Libraries 1 and 108 also contain the application-specific program libraries 111, 311 that interact with the files 106 and 107.
For example, the system server 101 includes the Accounts Receivable, Admission, Discharge, Transfer (AR/ADT) and General Purpose (GP) application-specific file and program libraries 1. File libraries 1 contain physical and logical files stored within PH#FILE 109 and GP#FILE 309. Program libraries 1 contain programs stored within PH#LIBR 111 and GP#LIBR 311 which contain the programs that work with the physical and logical files 106, 107, 108 contained in PH#FILE 109 and GP#FILE 309 to provide the features and functionality of the present invention. When a system server 101 user accesses the record management system 100 using either their personal computer or a passive terminal, the management system 100 automatically creates, based on the user profile, a library list containing the specific software applications' file 109, 309 and program 111, 311 libraries the user needs to complete their daily work.
The system server 101 includes a common file library called M4#FILE 103. The file library 103 contains or accesses all of the "shared" or "global" physical and logical files across all system server 101 patient financial applications. Hospitals that belong to a multiple entity corporation who implement a Central Business Office (CBO) share the patient record identifier database 102 located in the physical files in the M4#FILE 103. This is also where the Unit Record File (PHPUNIT) 50, the Unit Identification Number File (PHPUIDN) 3, the Next Medical Record Number Assignment File (GPPMRNM) 312, and the General Purpose Table File (GPPTABLE) 313 reside in order to allow patient identifier number sharing to occur.
Throughout the patient record identifier database 102, unit reference number fields exist in physical files and are used to link relevant data. Referring to FIG. 3, a unit reference number 14 is a unique number generated and assigned to the patient during the registration or admission process. The reference number 14 is maintained in the Unit Record file (PHPUNIT) 50 in the unit ref# (UREF#) field 2. The Unit Record file 50, also referred to as the Master Person Index, is a central repository that stores important demographic information that is unique to that individual. The Master Person Index 50 maintains those unique unit records for each person entered into the record management system 100. In FIG. 3, two such people are illustrated.
(a) Entity Code field (IDENT#) 4 identifies which entity within the shared environment created the record.
(b) Unit Reference Number field (IDREF#) 45 contains a unique system generated patient identification number 5 that links the person's demographic information with this particular record.
(c) Identification Num Type field (IDTYPE) 6 identifies the type of record (medical record number versus a radiology number or foreign system identification number).
(d) Identification Number field (IDIDE#) 7 contains the actual medical record number.
The two files PHPUNIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3 can be linked together when the value 14 present in the UREF# field 2 in PHPUNIT 50 is identical to the value 5 residing in the IDREF# field 45 in PHPUIDN 3. If the IDTYPE field 6 in PHPUIDN 3 identifies a medical record number type (MR#), and a medical record number 43 resides in the IDIDE# field 7, then the link to a medical record number is established.
Each person affiliated with the patient during the registration or admission process also receives his or her own unique unit reference number 44. These unit records include data identifying e.g. the patient's guarantor, the patient's spouse/parent, and the patient's relative. This allows hospitals to service their community and their families by eliminating redundant entry. For unit records belonging to persons that have been patients at any of the facilities, a medical record identification number may also be assigned based on the hospital's choice of which patient types (or services) require medical record numbers. Medical record identification numbers 43 are stored in the Unit Identification Number File (PHPUIDN) 3 in the IDIDE# field 7. Identical fields for both the unit reference number 5 and the medical record number 43 are stored in additional database files which are to be used as links. Additional key fields such as entity code field 4 and account number field 10 are also stored and used as additional links with the unit reference number 5 and the medical record number 7 values in order to define a path to specific information.
The entity code or number associated with the Entity File (GPPENTY) 190 is stored in important entity specific files such as the Account File (PHPACCT) 8, entity code field (ADENT) 9 and the Medical Record Identification File (PHPUIDN) 3, entity code field (IDENT#) 4 and is used in linking entity specific data. The search processor 105 also utilizes the entity field 4 along with the unit reference number field 5, 45 when searching PHPUIDN. Access to specific entities is controlled through the user's profile stored in the system server 101.
During the registration procedure for a patient, the user who in the illustrated embodiment may be the admission clerk, conditions the system to search the Master Person Index 50 using combinations of the patient's last name, first name, middle initial, social security number, and birth date in order to determine if a unit record number 14 already exists for the person (John Doe) 16 in the PHPUNIT file 50. Whether the admission clerk selects an existing unit record or creates a new unit record, the clerk will then condition the system to search for a medical record entry 4, 6, 43 using the search processor 105 and the rules processor 104. The search processor 105 knows which entity 190 is performing the registration based on the admission clerk's profile stored in the system server 101. If no unit record number 14 is found, a new unit record in the PHPUNIT file 50 is generated linking the patient name (John Doe) 16 to a newly created unit reference number 14 in field 2, and including biographical and demographical information about the new patient. In addition, a medical record entry 4, 6, 7 is created. A medical record number 43 is assigned in field 7 using the assignment scenarios already described for rules processor 104, and a link is established via the new unit reference number 5 in field 45 to the new patient record created for the patient in PHPUIDN 3. At the same time, a new record is created in the PHPACCT file 8 for this entity 9, 190 linking a newly created account record number 10 to the new unit reference number 11 and the new medical record number 13 for the new patient (John Doe) 16 in the PHPUNIT file 50 and the new medical record entry for this entity 4, 6, 7 in the PHPUIDN file 3. This record also associates or links the unit reference number 44 for the guarantor (Jane Doe) 15 with the guarantor's (Jane Doe) unit reference number 12 in the PHPUNIT file 50 and updates the PHPACCT file 8.
If a unit record number already exists in the PHPUNIT file 50 (John Doe) 16, 14 and a medical record entry 4, 6, 43 already exists in the PHPUIDN file 3 the registration continues creating the new record in the PHPACCT file 8 using the same links previously described. If a unit record number already exists in the PHPUNIT file 50 (John Doe) but a medical record entry 4, 6, 43 does not exist in the PHPUIDN file 3, a medical record entry 4, 6 is created, a medical record number 43 is assigned in field 7 using the assignment scenarios already described for rules processor 104, and the registration continues creating the new record in the PHPACCT file 8 using the same links previously described.
A PHPUIDN 3 record with an MR# identification number type 6 will never be created for a patient unless a PHPUNIT 50 record previously exists or is created simultaneously for a new patient. This eliminates the possibility of orphaned, irrelevant, or wasted medical record identification data in PHPUIDN 3.
The Patient Record Identifier Database 102 (FIG. 1) allows medical record numbers 43 to be from one to twelve characters in length. Hospitals define their medical record number format by means of a system 101 file maintenance protocol. The file maintenance protocol allows the hospital to set up the medical record number range, the medical record format, and the parent/child relationships between entities. Different medical record number formats are maintained throughout hospital environments.
The Field 215 (Field-4) contains a sorting order for medical record reports. Additional fields are present in the table 17 to allow for future enhancements as needed.
All sharing entities must use the same medical record number format in their separate databases or convert them to the same format prior to sharing.
All sharing entities must share the same common files PHPUNIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3 in the M4#FILE library 103.
All sharing entities must exist within the same Central Business Office environment.
All sharing entities must use the same medical record number format defined in the MREDIT table 18 in the General Purpose Table File Maintenance 17.
All sharing entities must use the same medical record number assignment range.
Referring also to FIG. 5, the Next Medical Record Number Assignment File (GPPMRNM 312) is accessed by users through its associated file maintenance screen 19 and permits the user to assign a medical record number range, to specify the value of the next medical record number to assign, and to identify parent/child relationships. The Next Medical Record Number File Maintenance 19 controls the medical record number format and range that will be used when medical record numbers 43 are assigned to patients and edits against the MREDIT Table 18 in the General Purpose Table File (GPPTABLE 313) which is accessed by users through its associated maintenance screen 17 to maintain consistency. Medical record numbers are assigned to patients via the AR/ADT and GP file and program libraries 1 (of FIG. 1). The medical record number 43 is stored at a person and entity level in the Unit Identification Number file (PHPUIDN) 3 (of FIG. 3).
Note that the parent entity 20 in the example of FIG. 5 is "00010 Utah Medical Center". As seen in FIG. 6, the user selects the appropriate parent entity and identifies the medical record number range (using the format defined in the MREDIT Table 18 in the General Purpose Table File 17) to be used by all entities sharing patient records. The screen 51 accessed during this process contains the From MR# field 21 and the To MR# field 22 which define the medical record number range. When the user types in the number range, the format is validated against the MREDIT Table 18 in the General Purpose Table File 17. During each patient admission or registration for which a new medical record number is required, the Next MR# field 23 is updated to contain the next available Medical Record Number based on the data contained in the search processor 105 and the rules processor 104.
Existing hospitals typically have the medical record number 43 already stored in a database in a Unit Record File that is analogous to the PHPUNIT file 50 (of FIG. 3). Database operators will typically have already provided input regarding the format and content of the medical record number 43 used by the search processor 105 and the rules processor 104 (of FIG. 1) during the initial installation of the previous medical record keeping system. Generally, the same medical record format used on the preexisting system is maintained when converting to the M4#FILE 103. During the initial installation, the user generally sets file maintenance protocol to match existing formats. For example, if the previous medical record number was 99-99-99 on the preexisting foreign system, the record number will be converted and entered in the patient record identifier database 102 to be exactly the same number and format (99-99-99). In this example, reformatting is not required because the record number formats already match. As illustrated in FIG. 1, if the formats do not or cannot match, the rules processor 104 accesses a conversion program 120 that examines the original medical record number on the foreign system, maps the old number to the medical record number field in the flat file 53 residing in database 102 and reformats the number using the format defined in the MREDIT table 18 of the General Purpose Table File 17.
Referring again to FIG. 3, in an existing hospital, the new centralized medical record data file (the Unit Identification Number File PHPUIDN 3) is provided to the existing hospital as an enhancement to their existing software and also contains the standard software conversion program 120. The user runs a standard installation program, entering parameters on the screen for the release library (containing the new file PHPUIDN 3) and the preexisting file library. The installation program automatically runs the conversion program 120 and moves the new file PHPUIDN 3 to the existing file library. The conversion program 120 analyzes every record existing in PHPUNIT 50 to determine if there is a medical record number value present in the now obsolete field UMDRC. If the obsolete field UMDRC in PHPUINT 50 is blank, no record is created in the PHPUIDN file 3. If a value does exist, data is transferred from the obsolete field UMDRC in the Unit Record File (PHPUNIT) 50 to the Unit Identification Number File (PHPUIDN) 3. The value for the entity code is copied into field 4 and the Unit Reference Number field UREF# 2 in PHPUNIT 50 is copied to the IDREF# field 45 in the PHPUIDN file 3. The Identification Number Type (type of record) field IDTYPE 6 in PHPUIDN file 3 is populated with the value "MR#" to identify this record as a medical record. The Identification Number field 7 (IDIDE#) is populated with the medical record number value 43 which the conversion program 120 had transferred from the PHPUNIT file 50. Once copied, the medical record number in PHPUNIT 50 is cleared and will no longer be populated to eliminate redundant data. All system programs 100 will look to the newly populated PHPUIDN 43 to access the medical record number.
In a hospital that is new to the concept of a centralized medical records office, the present invention is implemented by utilizing the same medical record number format of any preexisting record keeping system. The user sets General Purpose Table file maintenance 17 and the Next Medical Record Number file maintenance 19 to match the existing foreign system format. For example, if the preexisting medical record number 99-99-99 on the earlier system, the number is converted to database 102 to be exactly the same (99-99-99). A standard conversion program 120 is provided to take the demographic (including medical record number), insurance and account information from the foreign system database to flat file 53 provided in database 102 that contains the architecture of PHPUNIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3. PHPUNIT 50 is populated from the flat file 53 with all of the data except the medical record number 7. The PHPUNIT file 50 is populated first but substantially simultaneously with PHPUIDN 3.
The PHPUIDN file 3 will be populated based on logic similar to that used by an existing hospital. The conversion program 120 analyzes the foreign system to determine if there is a value in their corresponding medical record field. If the foreign system's field is blank, no record is created in PHPUIDN 3. If a value exists, a new record is created in the Unit Identification Number File (PHPUIDN) 3. The entity code value for field 4 is copied and the Unit Reference Number field (UREF#) 2 in the newly created record in PHPUNIT file 50 is copied to IDREF# field 45 in PHPUIDN file 3. The Identification Number Type field (IDTYPE) 6 in PHPUIDN 3 is populated with the value "MR#" to identify this record as a medical record number. The Identification Number field (IDIDE#) 7 is populated with the medical record number value from the foreign system. If the new hospital implementation does require a change of the record format, the conversion program 120 examines the medical record number on the foreign system, maps it to the medical record number field in the flat file 53, reformatting the number using the format defined in the General Purpose Table File's (GPPTABLE 313) MREDIT Table 18.
In the case of an existing hospital which becomes a CBO by adding a new entity, the hospital will already have all of the medical record numbers residing in the Unit Identification Number File (PHPUIDN) 3. The existing hospital becomes a parent or master entity and the parent's PHPUNIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3 files become shared files by moving these two files to M4#FILE library 103. PH#FILE 109 contains a CBO Entity field in the Location Master File which indicates that this hospital is now operating in a multiple entity environment. Once the implementation is complete, the "Sharing Entities" field 54 in the Next MR# File Maintenance display 19 can be accessed.
Two scenarios can exist when adding additional entities. If the hospital adds an existing entity having database 102, the parent hospital will run the standard conversion program 120 that will merge the new entity's PHPUNIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3 files into the now shared PHPUNIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3 files. Specific matching criteria are used to detect if the same person already exists in the shared files. The parent hospital first runs the standard conversion program 120 in "report mode" to identify potential duplicates. The report mode will create a WAS/IS file for potential duplicates between entities.
Matching criteria is used in the report mode as well as during the actual PHPUNIT/PHPUIDN file merge by examining the patient's last name, first name, birth date, medical record number, gender, and address. If the resulting data matches for at least five of the identifying criteria, a new record is not created but the child record would now become the new "IS" record. If the data does not match for at least five of the identifying criteria, a new record is created in the shared PHPUNIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3 files and is populated by copying the data from the "child's" PHPUNIT and PHPUIDN files to the "parent" or shared PHPUNIT and PHPUIDN files. The "report mode" allows both the parent and the child entities to research in advance of the file merge in order to organize or complete existing data in both environments.
The parent hospital can then run the conversion program 120 in its "merge" mode. When merging files, the same matching criteria as were used in the "report mode" are executed (last name, first name, birth date, medical record number, gender, and address). If the data matches for at least five of the identifying criteria, a new record is not created and a report is produced. If the data does not match on at least five of the identifying criteria, a new record is created in the shared PHPUNIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3 files which populated by copying the data from the "child's" PHPUNIT and PHPUIDN files to the "parent" or shared PHPUINIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3 files.
As may be more readily understood by reference to FIG. 7, the shared medical record number information is accessed when an admission clerk (local or remote) registers or admits a patient to the hospital at step 60. The clerk can access the admission programs of system 100 only if he or she is authorized to access those functions. If the clerk is authorized, he or she begins at step 61 by searching the Master Person Index (PHPUNIT) 50 to see if the patient's unit record 14 already exists in the centralized database 102 as a previous patient, spouse, parent, guarantor, or other relative. The admissions program 111 knows the entity the clerk is accessing based on the entity value in the file library 109, 309 residing in the user's application library 1 list accessed when the user signs on to the system.
If, at step 62, the patient's information does not exist, the clerk creates a new unit record 14 at step 63, or if the patient's information does exist, the clerk selects the existing record from the search and select screen at step 64. FIG. 8 depicts a screen 73 via which the user may input data. While the patient's unit record is being created or updated in PHPUNIT 50, the Med Rec # field 74 can automatically default to *CALC 72 on the display screen or the user can manually type *CALC in the field 72 or the user can manually type in a literal medical record number. The function *CALC 72 or the manual entry of a medical record number begins the interrogation for a new medical record number assignment at step 68.
At step 68 the search processor 105 checks the IDIDE# field 45 of PHPUIDN 3 to determine if a medical record number 43 already exists for that patient's unique unit reference number 5 for any of the entities contained within the multiple entity organization. The rules processor 104 considers the multiple assignment scenarios discussed earlier with respect to FIG. 2. Based on those assignment rules, the rules processor 104 either shares, at step 69, the medical record number 43 attached to that patient's unique unit reference number 5 in PHPUIDN 3 by another entity, or selects, at step 67, a new number from the Next MR# (GPNEXT) field 23 located in the Next Medical Record Number Assignment File (GPPMRNM 312) 51, with user accesses as depicted in FIG. 6.
The rules processor 104 then creates a new record in PHPUIDN 3 for the entity 4 requesting the medical record number 43. The chosen medical record number 43 is placed in the IDIDE# field 7 in PHPUIDN 3. The medical record number 43 is already properly formatted regardless of its origin. This is because the medical record number 43 is stored as a formatted number in PHPUIDN 3 and is stored as a formatted number in the Next Medical Record Number Assignment File (GPPMRNM 312) 51. If the patient had previously been a patient at this facility, the previously assigned medical record number 43 will already display in the Med Rec# field 7 and a record would already exist in PHPUIDN 3 for that entity 4. The final step 71 updates the files PHPUNIT 50 and PHPUIDN 3, storing all of the data entered.
As depicted in FIG. 9, Centralized Medical Records Department personnel 81, with the proper security, can access and update online medical record information. Authorized users (registration clerks and medical records personnel) search the master person index and request a shared medical record number from the Centralized Medical Record Database 85. They can also work with the shared medical record numbers and manage the medical record chart from any entity location 80, 82, 83, 84, 87, 88 and 89. Regardless of the entry point that begins the request or interrogation for a medical record number, the same search processor 105 and rules processor 104 are accessed and the same physical files, PHPUNIT 50, PHPUIDN 3, and GPPMRNM 312, are accessed and updated. Physicians 86 working with the medical record chart, if given the proper security, can access the online centralized medical record abstracts and medical record information. Generally doctors do not update the data, so their views of the medical record information are typically provided as display screens that do not allow the user to update any data.
When performing file maintenance for shared medical record numbers, certain conditions are automatically enforced by the record management system 100. For example, a child entity can only share medical record numbers with one parent entity. A parent entity cannot share with another parent entity. A parent entity can have multiple child entities. A parent entity cannot be deleted until the relationship to the child entities has been deleted. When a sharing entity is deleted as a parent, the actual entity record still exists; only the sharing relationship is deleted. Finally, an inactive entity record cannot be selected as a parent entity. Several examples of actual file sharing manipulations will now be discussed.
The first example addresses the case of adding or updating a Medical Record Number Range. Referring to FIG. 13, the first step 90 is to select the Next MR# File Maintenance option which results in the user being shown, at step 91, the first Next MR# Maintenance screen 19 (FIG. 5). In FIG. 5, the Entity# field 180 refers to the number of the entity being accessed by the user. The Description field 181 contains description or name of the entity. The mnemonic of the entity is contained in the Mnem field 182. The user begins the search for a record at step 92 by typing either the entity Mnemonic (SALT in this case) or Entity Number (00020 in this case) in the 'Position to' field 183. The desired entity, or its closest match, displays on the first line 184. To work with an existing record, the user types a "2", as prompted in the options line 187, into the Opt field 186 next to the entity the user wishes to update.
If the search of step 92 is unsuccessful, the user must create a new record, at step 94, which causes the second Next MR# Maintenance screen 188 (see FIG. 18) to be displayed. Screen 188 allows multiple medical record number range entry. The user completes the field 193 with the entity mnemonic, field 190 with the beginning medical record number for the desired range and field 191 with the ending medical record number for the desired range. The user enters a number in field 192 (Next MR#) that is the same number as was entered in field 190. The rules processor program 104 increases the value in field 192 as patients are admitted.
Step 95 (FIG. 13) produces the third Next MR# Maintenance screen 194 depicted in FIG. 10, which allows the user to select an existing medical record number range. Note that whether or not a record was found at step 92, by step 95 a record exists, either because it was found during the search of step 92 or was subsequently created at step 94. To work with an existing record, the user types a "2" from the options line 187 into the Opt field 186. Referring also to FIG. 11, step 96 causes the display of the fourth Next MR# Maintenance screen 195 which allows the user to update the medical record number range selected. The user types a beginning medical record number in field 196, an ending medical record number in field 197 and again types the beginning medical record number in field 198. As patients are admitted, the rules processor program 104 will increment this value through the range specified. The last revision date for this record displays in field 199 and the user identification of the person completing the last revision displays in field 200.
The second example deals with deleting a medical record number range, and can be best understood by reference to FIGS. 5, 10, 12 and 14. In FIG. 14, the first step 93 is selecting the Next MR# File Maintenance option which displays, at step 97, the first Next MR# Maintenance screen 19 displays, as illustrated in FIG. 5. The third step 98 is the selection of the type of deletion to be performed. To delete all medical record number ranges for a specific entity, type a "4" from field 210 (FIG. 5) in the Opt field 186 next to the desired entity 20, for example (entity 00010 in this case). This results in the display of a 'Confirm deletion of records' window 211, as illustrated in FIG. 12. To confirm the deletion at step 99 of all record number ranges associated with that entity, as previously represented in FIG. 10, the user selects <F14> from field 212 or cancels the deletion by selecting <F12> from field 213.
To delete a specific medical record number range for an entity, the user types a "2" from field 187 into the Opt field 186 next to the desired entity. This results in the display of screen 194 (FIG. 10). The user then types a "4" from field 187 into the Opt field 186 next to the desired medical record number range. A 'Confirm deletion of records' window 211 then appears, as illustrated in FIG. 12. To confirm the deletion at step 99, the user selects <F14> from field 212 or cancels the deletion by selecting <F12> from field 213.
In order for a user to add or delete a sharing entity, the first step 102, as illustrated in FIG. 15, is to select the Next MR# file maintenance option which displays screen 19 (FIG. 5) at step 103. The sharing parent entity's number, description, and mnemonic displays in field 220 only in a multiple entity CBO environment. At step 104 the user chooses whether a sharing entity is to be added or deleted. If adding a sharing entity, the user types a "9" from field 54 into the option field 186. This produces the entity search screen 217 depicted in FIG. 16. To select the desired entity at step 108, the user types the parent entity Mnemonic or Number in the "Position to" field 218. The selected entity, or its closest match, displays on the first line 216. To add a sharing parent entity in step 109, the user types a "1" in the Opt field 186 next to the entity the user wants to assign as a parent to the selected entity. At step 110 the display 19 (FIG. 5) will then display the added entity.
To delete an assigned sharing parent entity, the user types a "4" in the Opt field 186 next to the desired child entity at step 105. By pressing <enter> at step 106 the deletion request is executed, causing the "Confirm delete of Sharing Entity" window 214, shown in FIG. 17, to appear. The confirmation of deletion at step 107 is accomplished by pressing <F14> as set forth in field 215 or cancellation of deletion by selecting <F12> from field 213.
This invention has been described with reference to certain preferred embodiments but those skilled in this field will recognize that various modifications can be made. For example, each of the display screens is only an example of how the data might be displayed, and various screens could be added or deleted depending on the needs of a particular record keeping environment. As another example, the present invention could be practiced with stand alone personal computers as part of a network, or each terminal could be a passive component connected to a single mainframe computer. The programming involved to accomplish these modifications are well within the present state of the art.

MOSES was sent to Pharaoh to invite him to two things; first, to surrender himself to God (i.e. Islam); and second, to release the Israelites - who were already Muslims - from his oppressive bondage. The Qur'an refers occasionally to both these objectives, and occasionally confines itself to mentioning either of the two.
Qur'an (7:106): Pharaoh said: if you have brought a sign, then bring it forth if you are truthful.'
Qur'an (7:107): Thereupon Moses threw his rod, and suddenly it was a veritable serpent.
Qur'an (7:108) Then he drew out his hand, and it appeared luminous to all beholders.
Moses was granted these two miraculous signs in order to provide testimony to his being a Messenger of God, the creator and sovereign of the universe. Whenever the Prophets introduced themselves as God's Message-bearers, people asked them to produce some miraculous sign, to perform something supernatural. In response to those demands the Prophets produced what the Qur'an terms as 'signs', and which are called 'miracles' by theologians.
Those who tend to play down the supernatural character of such signs or miracles, and who try to explain them in terms of natural laws of causation, in fact attempt to build a mid-way house between believing and disbelieving in the statements of the Qur'an. Such an approach can hardly be considered reasonable. What it does demonstrate, however, is how such people can be pulled in two opposite directions. On the one hand, they are not inclined to believe in a Book which abounds in narrations of a supernatural kind. On the other hand, being born followers of their ancestral religion, they are not inclined to reject the Book which carries supernatural narrations.
With regard to miracles, there are two basic questions that people should ask themselves. Did God, after creating the universe and establishing a system of natural causations therein, suspend Himself such that it is no longer possible for Him to interfere in the workings of the universe? Or does He still hold the reins to His realm in His owns Hands so that His command is enforced every moment, and He does retain the power to alter the shape of things and the normal course of events - either partially or fully, - as and when He wills?
It is impossible for those who respond in the affirmative to the first question to accept the idea of miracles. For clearly miracles do not fit in with their concept of God and the universe. Honesty demands that instead of indulging in far-fetched explanations of Qur'anic statements on miracles, such people should clearly declare that they do not believe in the Qur'an. For quite obviously the Qur'an is explicit, even quite emphatic in affirming the former concept of God.
As for those who, being convinced by Qur'anic arguments, respond in the affirmative to the second question regarding God and the universe, for them there is no difficulty in accepting miracles. Let us take the instance mentioned in verse 107, namely, that the rod of Moses turned into a serpent. Now, there are those who believe that serpents can come into being only through one process - the known biological process. Such people are bound to reject the statement that Moses' rod changed into a serpent and later reverted to its original shape. On the contrary, if you are fully convinced that it is God's command alone which causes life to arise from lifeless matter, and that God has full power to confer whichever kind of life He wills, the transformation of the rod into a serpent and its subsequent reversion to its original state is no stranger than the transformation of any other lifeless matter into a living entity. The fact that the latter happens virtually every day whereas the former took place only a few times in history is not enough to declare the first as incredibly, strange and the second as 'natural'.1
(Qur'an 18: 22, Surah Al-Kahaf; the cave) Say: "My Lord knows their number best. Only a few know their correct number. So do not dispute concerning their number, but stick to what is evident, and do not question anyone about them."
This is meant to impress that the real thing in this story is not the number of the sleepers (of cave) but the lessons it teaches. (1) A true believer should not on any account turn away from the truth and bow before falsehood. (2) A believer should not merely rely on the material means but on Allah. He should trust in God and follow the right way, even though the outward adverse circumstances might appear to be unfavorable. (3) It is wrong to suppose that Allah is bound by any so called law of nature, for He is able to do anything He wills even though that might seem to be against some common experience. He has the power to change any so called law of nature, whenever and wherever He wills and bring about any extraordinary supernatural thing. So much so that He can raise up anyone who might have been asleep for two hundred years, as if he had slept only for a few hours, without letting any change take place in his appearance, dress, health, indeed in anything, during the passage of time. (4) This teaches us that Allah has the power to bring to life all the generations past, present and future all together as asserted by the Prophets and divine Scriptures. (5) It teaches us that ignorant people have always been perverting the signs of Allah which are sent for the right guidance of the people. That is how the miracle of the sleepers of the cave, which had been shown as a proof of the Hereafter, had been turned into a means of shirk, as if they were some saints who had been sent only for this purpose.3
In this world of God strange happenings are not rare. Wherever one may look one will see extraordinary manifestations of His power. The occurrence of certain events and things in a usual form and manner is no proof that the event or thing cannot happen in an unusual and extraordinary way. To break these assumptions there exists a long list of unusual events and things that have taken place in every kind of creation in every part of the universe. In particular, the person who has a clear concept of God's being All- Powerful, cannot be involved in the misunderstanding that it is not possible for God, Who is the Creator of life and death, to grant a life of a thousand years or so to any man. The fact is that man of his own will and wish cannot live even for a moment, but if Allah wills, He can make him live for as long as He pleases.4
Surah Al-Ar'af, Explanatory Note 87
Surah Kahaf N. 23
The miracle of Ashabe-e Kahaf (people of cave) revealed by Allah to people to make believe in the day of judgement. But the ignorant people made them other "idols" (great) to worship.
Surah Al-Ankabut N. 22

Evan Kingma is from Southern Ontario and has been building for only a few years. During that time he has been working as apprentice to Stephen Hill at The European Institute of Guitar Making in La Herradura, Spain.
We've received a pair of his new guitars, and they are impressive. Here we're looking at number 4, a model built with German Spruce top and Flamed Maple for the back and sides. It features a 650mm scale lenmgth and 52mm nut width, a 5-fan bracing pattern, Der Jung tuners, and a French Polish finish.
This guitar is lively and responsive, with a full and rich voice. Once played in it will be an outstanding instrument. A Hiscox case is included. Check the YouTube video – this is one of the three guitars demonstrated.
