Identify and Eliminate Duplicate Patient Records

FileCD MPI is an easy-to-use Master Patient Index management system that delivers dramatic cost and time savings to hospitals, clinics and other healthcare organizations, while enhancing quality of care.

By eliminating existing duplicate patient records and preventing the creation of new duplicates, the solution enables organizations to speed and simplify the admitting process, reduce the risk of medical errors due to inaccurate patient information, and recoup hundreds or even thousands of wasted employee hours every year.

Created specifically for hospital admitting and medical records departments – and designed to integrate easily with any registration or health information system – FileCD uses state-of-the-science matching technologies, search algorithms and quantitative analysis to identify, eliminate, and prevent duplicate patient records.

Duplicate MPI records inflate costs – and degrade care

Patient records can become fragmented when a returning patient’s record isn’t found, due to spelling errors or changes in name or address.  In a typical medium-size hospital, with 500,000 patient records in its files, critical data for as many as 60,000 patients is fragmented across duplicate or multiple records.

The impact?  Admitting and records personnel wasted thousands of hours capturing and managing patient data that was already present.  Even worse, those 60,000 patients are at risk, because medication and other treatment decisions may be made using partial or incorrect patient information.

Save hours, cut costs, and enhance care

FileCD eliminates duplicate record creation by making it easier to capture patient identity, facilitating the identification of existing records for the same patient, and avoiding keying errors by automatically creating or adjusting patient records.

First, FileCD works with popular card-reading devices to capture patient identification and demographic data automatically from a patient driver license or insurance card.

Next, FileCD displays a list of existing patient records, ranked and color-coded by match probability. Admitting staff selects a matching record – or indicates that the patient is, indeed, new – and FileCD automatically creates or updates patient information in the registration system.

Cleaning up old duplicates is a snap

FileCD comes with powerful scanning and reporting capabilities that identify likely existing duplicate records so you can merge and manage them at any time.

Better patient data – and significant cost reductions – can be yours in just days. To learn how FileCD can enhance patient record integrity and streamline record management in your organization, contact TeleFile at (650) 212-3453 today.
