This is a common situation when a patient record is created in a hurry. Usually, it is a misspelled name or it can be  a last name stored in a first name’s field.<\/p>\n

To help find these duplicate records, we have released a new “Finding Duplicate Patients<\/strong>” tool, which is located in “Patient Directory” tab.<\/p>\n

There you can use two search options:<\/p>\n

– Names, or<\/p>\n

– Phone numbers.<\/p>\n

The first option is simply looking for matching first  and  last names, while the second option is looking for similar home, work or mobile phone numbers.<\/p>\n

The resulting table can be sorted by clicking on the column headers.<\/p>\n

We have also created the merge tool to combine two patient files records, but currently this tool is under our internal testing and not available to Praktika end-users. The reason for that is that the produced merged file is irreversible and if someone does it by mistake it will take a lot of efforts to restore both patient files from the backup. As soon as we come out with a version which will allow the reversible merge, we will release it to our all customers. In the meantime, if you find duplicate records, please email a merge request to support@praktika.com.au and we will do it for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
