Date of Birth Flags

The Date of Birth (DoB) and DoB Data Quality (DoB DQ) fields are combined into one column with red font flagging records with missing information and other colors flagging mismatches between this enrollment and previous enrollments in the clients record.

      MISSING DoB is missing

      MISSING or ##/##/#### DoB DQ is missing or DNC (regardless of DoB answer)

      ##/##/#### DoB DQ is Client refused or Client doesn't know and DoB is not blank

      ##/##/#### DoB DQ is Partial DoB and DoB is not 1/1/yyyy

Other Colored Text/Warning Flags: (Still receive point) Verify accuracy of any/all other DoBs in client record and edit with appropriate, accurate information, if known

      ##/##/#### DoB on entry is null, but client record now has a DoB filled out

      ##/##/#### DoB is filled out, but DoB DQ is Client refused or Client doesn't know

      ##/##/#### DoB on entry matches most recent DoB in client record, but there are additional DoBs on client record
