"almost same patient" check
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:
- PL_SamePHIN_Site_Diff_chart
- PL_DiffPhin_SameLN_FN_DOB
- PL_SamePhin_Diff_DOB_Sex
- PL_SameCHART_Site_Diff_PHIN
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.
