Question regarding Patient ID vs Encounter ID #19

Open

Can somebody explain to me the difference between Encounter ID and Patient ID? They both are unique indices for every observation.
Is there any possibility to deduct temporal information from these IDs? I.e. can I assume that patients with a smaller patient ID/encounter ID were treated first?

Thanks in advance!
