How to Store Subjects in Continuous Query
Unlike the Subject Database, which permanently stores practitioner information for querying and reporting, Stored Subjects are temporary records designed to hold practitioner information as you prepare to enroll them in Continuous Query. After successfully enrolling a practitioner, the stored record becomes an active enrollment which you can update at any time. Stored Subjects is used only for enrolling practitioners in Continuous Query and should not be used for permanent storage of practitioner data.
The NPDB will store subjects when an enrollment transaction cannot be processed. This allows you to correct and resubmit the enrollment without reentering the enrollment information.
