We've been discussing that it will also be useful to make these ids (including patient identifiers) unique in space because since we might be using offline id creation, we could have a conflict if the ids were generated at the same time. So a combination of them being unique in space (through location/device id) and in time (current time upto sec) should be good enough for them to avoid conflicts.
