7 years ago If Provider A and Provider B are different healthcare institutions, the medical records from each provider should have different unique medical record number. This means that popHealth will process each record as from different person. To combine patient records from different institutions, popHealth will need to perform patient matching service.
Patient matching is a major challenge for healthcare interoperability – see Demystifying Patient Matching Algorithms - https://www.healthit.gov/buzz-blog/interoperability/demystifying-patient-matching-algorithms/
Mitre has been developing patient matching modules for ONC – see https://github.com/mitre/ptmerge
Incorporating patient matching capability into popHealth should be on the popHealth roadmap for the future.
