Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aviation Epidemiology Data Register (AEDR) is a family of databases storing health and physical parameters of Army aircrew. The components are administratively linked by social security number (SSN). A new component is an upgrade of the medical document microfiche archive to laser optic CD-ROM. The U.S. Army Aeromedical Activity requested assistance in creating an indexing scheme for the new system. They wanted to use a single SSN digit, the disks to fill at a uniform rate, and to keep the same aircrew member on the same disk even if multiple entries were made for the same patient. The SSN Of each case in the microfiche archive was extracted as a reference population. Analysis Of the frequency distribution of decimal values for selected SSN digits showed the last SSN digit would meet the stated requirements. Any of the first five SSN digits should not be used for indexing.
