Unit number - ANS-filing system in which the pt receives a unique health record
number at the time of the first encounter. For all subsequent encounters for a
particular pt, the health record number that was assigned for the first encounter is
used
, alphabetic filing system - ANS-The following are disadvantages of _____:
