Duplicates allowed but no easy way to differentiate #8

If I have more than 1 patients with the same name , there is no easy way for me to differentiate them, other than noting down which index belongs to which user

Suggestion: Should ask user to specify some unique identifier (e.g. NRIC)

Team's Response

In our UG: https://ay2223s2-cs2103-f11-3.github.io/tp/UserGuide.html#patient---patient-functionalities

A patient is uniquely identified by a generated PATIENT_ID. Duplicate patients are allowed in the system as there might be patients with the exact same attributes that want to be vaccinated.

There is a unique ID system in VMS to ensure that every patient has a ID given to them. Using this ID, the user can differentiate between the patients. We decided against NRIC due to potential PDPA issues.

This is a suggestion, not a bug.
