In some situations, one medical record or chart must be merged with another. For example, if a new MPI is accidentally created for a patient who has an existing MPI, then one MPI must be merged with the other.
You can merge MPIs, MRNs, and charts using the following methods:
-
Automatically, using HL7—see HL7 Merge Processing
-
Manually, using the OnBase Client—see Merge Records
