Patients have easily 20-30 codes per one hospital visit / one bill and ordering matters so sadly quadrillions may be an underestimate.

- some_furry 4y agoI'm unfortunately aware, but you don't need every possible permutation to have a unique identifier. That's like trying to enumerate all 2^256 or so Bitcoin private keys. It's a stupid way to approach the problem. Enumerate atomic elements, not molecules. Only the most useful or common combinations need naming.
