Invalid records were simply deleted and real data was lost through incomplete conversion of pointers. The Duplicate Record Merge application enhances the ability to associate appropriate data with a single patient identifier. It provides the tools necessary to automatically identify patient records that have a high likelihood of being duplicates. The search and identification of potential duplicate records is based on the Duplicate Resolution features of Kernel Toolkit. Once the search has been completed, the process of verifying record pairs begins.
Reviewers view data associated with the potential duplicate pairs and determine their status.
Once verified, a merge process may be initiated. Comparison results in computed value. Resulting value measured against the Potential Duplicate Threshold Percentage. Review and verification may begin while search is running. Reviewers view screens of patient data for comparisons.
