If any records match on most demographic entries they almost certainly are for the same patient; if they only match on some they are likely for the same patient with a data entry error in the differing field.

A number of "PL queries" were implemented in Centralized_data_front_end.accdb to check for this:

The queries are used during the Centralized data Vetting Process, see that article for more info.

There is also the Cat button in Centralized_data_front_end.accdb which will show a list of profiles that partially or completely match the current profile's patient.
