A patient receives a new record number after each registration/visit. All the previous records fall under the latest issued number. Therefore, only one record remains in the filing area. For example, a patients first visit is issued with a medical record number 56789. During the next visit, a new medical record number 62001 is issued. The old record is brought forward and filed in the new record. According to Claeys (1996), and OUT guide made of an empty chart folder is left at the position of the previous record. It indicates the new record number containing the old record.

Secondly, the system makes it easier for a medical center to retain records of its patients. This is because records with lower numbers can be identified with ease as they remain in the old file. Disadvantages of Serial-Unit Numbering System A disadvantage presented by this system is shown by the gaps left in the filing area by the removal of old records. Moreover, it is time-consuming considering the time required for back shifting from old records to the latest.

What are your thoughts? Thank you for reading, Clyde > > These days, not many would recommend a biplane as a trainer (though a lot of pilots trained in them in the past). Are you hoping to learn to fly in the plane you'll keep long term, or do you have some other motivation? If I were trying to pick a trainer, it would need to be: 1. rugged enough to handle rough landings, etc 2. docile enough to allow a student to learn in without bending something 3. have adequate power to comfortably lift two full size Americans, without sweating the fence or trees at the end of the runway A couple in your list might not make the cut. I've ridden in an acrosport, but never landed one, and no experience at all in the Charger, but an old friend (who was about 6' 4" tall & flew an 85HP clipwing Cub) once recommended it, over a Skybolt as 'a nicer airplane'. For most students, I suspect that a lot of other planes would be better as a basic trainer. Any of the old 'classic' taildraggers would be good candidates; they'll survive misdeeds (within reason) and let the student acquire the basic 'muscle memory' needed to handle a taildragger, which will make transitioning to a biplane that will likely be 'squirellier' on the ground, and will definitely have a higher power-off sink rate. I learned in a Luscombe 8A. You could probably buy one for half the price of any 2 seat biplane, and sell it for what you paid for it once you have your license. A Luscombe or any of the other planes from that era will teach you focus, and make transitioning to higher performance a/c a lot smoother. My next plane was a Thorp T-18; it was a piece of cake to fly after the Luscombe, even though many consider it a 'hot' a/c. Perhaps someone with actual time in a Charger will chime in with more detailed (and accurate) info.
