Managing eForm Patient Conflicts

Follow

When an eForm is submitted, the system will check a set of details between patients to either match with an existing patient or create a new file. When the system cannot determine if the patient should be matched or created as new, it generates a conflict.

When viewing completed forms, a conflict icon mceclip0.png will appear next to their name to signify the conflict should be resolved. 

 

Field Matching

The following fields are checked to find a match or create a new patient.

  • First Name,

  • Surname,

  • DOB,

  • Mobile Number, and 

  • E-mail

 

Conflict Reasons

In some instances, patients could use different information to complete their eServices profile than the information within D4W/PSS; or, a patient’s First Name could have been misspelled in D4W/PSS but spelled correctly in eServices.

Therefore, a combination of matching the fields above between eServices and D4W/PSS will be used to determine if the patient is New, Existing or has Potential Matches.

 

Resolving Conflicts

  1. From anywhere in D4W/PSS, Go To menu > View Completed Patient Forms
