A unique id concatenating last name, first name, middle initial, and birth date is constructed and stored in this field. As records are loaded, an exact match found on this combined data indicates a duplicate and the record is skipped or updated.

Note that this unique key will be phased out in the future. A new unique key based solely on unique_Identifier will be substituted.
