Anything after the + sign and before the @ sign in a gmail address is ignored. So, if your google email address is foo@google.com, you can tell someone to send you messages at foo+bar@google.com and it will reach you. Google even lets you use the address to categorize your e-mail, and auto-circular-file. I don't use that feature as much as I should, mostly because then I have to remember what I used for each different site. That could be really annoying when your e-mail address is your login name.Keith W.

Whenever disparate identity stores are linked up there has to be some kind of way to identify the unique correlation between them. The VA and DOD have realized that probabilistic matching of patients is very very hard to do and they see a nationwide unique id as an easy way out. What happens though when you introduce numerous HIEs or the millions of providers that don't use these IDs? Gets a little tougher. What about dependents? Do they get a different EDIPI? They use their sponsor's so what then?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252212640603477933noreply@blogger.com
