True or False: Changes to patient data in Clarity always create a new row in PatientDim after the next extract.

The statement is false because changes to patient data in Clarity do not always create a new row in the PatientDim table after the next extract. The PatientDim table is designed to maintain a single record for each patient that reflects their most recent data. When updates are made to patient information, such as changes in demographics or clinical details, these modifications typically update the existing row rather than creating a new one.

Additionally, while certain conditions may prompt the creation of a new record—such as changes affecting a patient's status that necessitate a historic record—the primary function of the PatientDim is to provide a consolidated view of patient information. Hence, repetitive updates to the same data point without context for a significant change would generally not lead to new rows, supporting the assertion that the statement is false.
