- Collectors, feedback please, do you think this will be a problem to collect? Can you think of special cases not addressed by these instructions? Ttenbergen 17:12, 2016 March 21 (CDT)
Purpose
To identify patients for whom an alternate MRN was used for part of the stay.
We need to know this because external data such as the DSM Export or the Comparison with Manitoba Health data sometimes fails due to these ID changes.
Data Collection Instructions
When you notice that a patient has or has had an alternate identity or MRN, enter:
- Project: Alias ID
- Item: Alias ID
- Tmp Notes / Q: Medical Record Number/Chart Number, old name or other Alias info
- if there is not enough space there, say "details in patient Notes field and put additional info there as it has a lot more space. We don't need a life history, keep in mind we only care to match records.
what if we miss it?
If you miss it you miss it. We know you will only see this information some of the time. When you do see it it is useful for us to have, because it saves us time with our data validation and cleaning.
It's rare, where/how might we find it?
- you may hear it through the grapevine on the ward (how technical is that... :-))
- current addressograph different from admit addressograph
- current name on chart different from name on an old chart
- notes in the chart stating that Patient X has a name...
- EPR search shows this as incidental finding
- patient who arrived as John Doe; HSC will use MRN starting with "300" for these
- not sure if collectors can see this in EPR but labs/tests may have been ordered under the old MRN; we see these in the DSM data
How to determine?
Template:Discussion Collectors, where would you find this info? Ttenbergen 17:06, 2016 March 21 (CDT)
Start/End Dates
- Start: 2015-04-24
- End: there is no planned end date

Might need cross check to not allow empty tmp notes field. There is at least one entry with that field blank and the info in the patient notes field instead.
