I am running PacsOne 4.0.1 and I have a question about data element coercion. Is there a way I can use this feature to remove the last 2 characters from the Patient ID? Our ultrasound machine always appends "/1" to the end of every Patient ID. I can't get the ultrasound machine to stop doing this, but can PacsOne remove the "/1" for me?

Data element coercion
The current version of PacsOne Server supports stripping defined prefix from the string value of the data element to be coerced, e.g., with the following data element coercion rule defined for the Patient ID data element:
Test*->*
The original Patient ID value of "Test123" will become "123" after the coercion.
But the current version does not yet support the stripping of defined suffix from the string value, so we'll need to add this feature to the next release of PacsOne Server to implement the following coercion rule pattern:
*Test->*
So that the original Patient ID of "123Test" will become "123" after the coercion.
Test*->*
The original Patient ID value of "Test123" will become "123" after the coercion.
