During the initial load of the data warehouse, NPIRS asked the sites to send all registration and encounter data dating back to October 1, 2000. Most sites were able to do so, but not all. Some also sent encounter data prior to that date, but this data is sparse.
Data includes (but is not limited to):
Registration |

- Patient identification
- Chart numbers and locations
