-* {{discussion}} What are the fields that have to match to consider two encounters the same patient, eg likely a combination of names, dob, ?phin?, what else?Ttenbergen 18:07, 2012 November 22 (EST)
+* Multiple encounters are considered of same patient if the combination of following fields match:
+** PHIN
+** Names (First and Last)
+** DOB
+** Gender
+** Hospital Chart# if admitted in the same hospital
+* Data quality check programs are being run after every appending of new data to the master database of both Critical Care and Medicine.  The programs find errors in  records not matching in any of the above combination of fields.
+** The Data Processor runs the two  programs at her local computer C:\TMSX\CombLookupProof.exe followed by C:\TMSX\CombinedErrorsFinder.exe in that order.
+** The Statistician runs the SAS program in the shared folder  X:\Julie\SAS\CriticalCare\chkchartdupCCnMED.sas .
+** The Data Processor fixes any errors found ensuring the consistencies in the demographics of same patient on both databases.
