Patient Information Reconciliation (PIR) coordinates reconciliation of the patient record when images are acquired for unidentified (e.g. trauma), or misidentified patients.

Summary

PIR extends Scheduled Workflow to handle:

  • unidentified/emergency patient
  • demographic information updates
    • patient name changes (marriage, etc.)
    • correction of mistakes
    • ID space mergers

Such changes are reliably propogated to all affected systems, which update all affected data. The result is a complete patient record.

In the example of the trauma case, images can be acquired (either without a prior registration or under a generic registration), and read and then later merged with the patients record when their identity is determined.

Patient Information Reconciliation

Benefits

  • Normal workflow proceeds even when the patient is unknown
  • The patient record reconciles itself into a whole when the patient is identified.
  • Eliminates confusion over which system should reconcile what where.
  • Reduction of errors
    • Reduces incorrectly identified or “lost” studies
  • More complete medical record
    • Supports maintenance of demographics to maintain database correspondence
  • Flexible Trauma Workflow

Related Profiles

  • Scheduled Workflow provides the data handling framework and is a pre-requisite for PIR
  • Patient Identifier Cross Referencing and Patient Demographics Query can be useful to establish the demographics to reconcile
  • Systems implementing PIR are expected to operate on all relevant objects, including those created as part of Radiology Content Profiles.
  • Workflow profiles in other domains were developed after PIR was written and were able to embed the transactions directly.
