Discuss how numbers are assigned and records are filed in a serial-unit numbering system
In serial-unit numbering, patients receive a new number each time they are registered by the facility, and records from a previous admission or encounter are reassigned the new number. All patient records are filed in the most current folder in one location. The folders that contain previous patient records remain in the file, and a note identifying the new number is inserted into the folder.
