What's the Big Deal?
Duplicate medical records can greatly impact end users struggling to identify the correct chart to use while documenting within a patient chart. These examples include but are not limited to compromising patient safety (ie: medications/allergies), creating unnecessary gaps in care, discrepancies in medical information available to the patient on their own patient portal, inaccurate patient statements/balances, challenges in detailed population health management review/ data analysis, and reimbursement.
