Date not plausible

PeriData makes a plausibility check to detect damaged or incomplete examination data. If suspicious data are found, then the >>>>> patient name >>>>> will show up with angle brackets in the examination list. Missing values wil be shown with ??? question marks.

There are several plausibility rules:

• The date of examination is not prior to 01-Jan-1970
• The date of birth is not prior to 01-Jan-1870
• The age of the patient at examination day is more than 3 years and less than 104 years
• A date is never in the future
