not implemented yet, will be implemented with other multi-encounter checks.
If records match on all of the following 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.
Flag records that match on (all - 1) fields of the following:
- PHIN
- first name & last name
- DOB
- sex
- chart number (if same hospital)
We would likely want a way to exclude legitimately similar patients from future comparisons.
