Alias ID collection: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

*I have only come across this once as well. The pt on the ward had no PHIN entered anywhere including EPR but when I entered her name in the EPR and searched for her this way (rather than by the MRN), it came up with several names with the same PHIN, date of birth etc. so she had several chart #s which should have been incorporated under one number. Pts that have come in as John Does Have always been identified within their hospital stay, so the information can be updated within the stay.

*The above statement is not always correct: I have a "unknown" name patient from January 1, who died and still has not been identified. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 13:17, 2016 March 24 (CDT)

*Laura-I was speaking of my own experiences at GGH, not in general, and I posted this prior to the above title being added. There is no correct or not correct, only what we have seen

** Even if they are identified during the stay and the chart starts using the real ID, we would still want their alternate IDs to be documented if you have them. Some of the external data we collect is generated while the alias is used and keeps that alias even after the real ID is found, so it is still useful for us to have this.
