Prepending a String Before a Value

Prepending a string before a value can be easily achieved using a Python script:

value = "ID" + value

This type of script is useful for prepending required characters before a field value. For example, the above code correctly handles circumstances in which the Patient ID field must be prefixed with "ID".
