Person Data Object Structure

The fields you specify for person name matching in the wizard are automatically defined for standardization and phonetic encoding. If you specify the appropriate match types in the wizard, the following fields are automatically added to the object structure and database creation script.

• field_name_Std

• field_name_Phon

where field_name is the name of the field for which you specified person name matching. For example, if you specify the PersonFirstName match type for the FirstName field, two fields, FirstName_Std and FirstName_Phon, are automatically added to the structure. You can also add these fields manually if you do not specify match types in the wizard. If you store additional names in the database, such as alias names, maiden names, parent names, and so on, you can modify the phonetic structure to phonetically encode those names as well.

The object structure for Sun Master Patient Index uses a slightly different naming convention. For the names of the fields defined for Sun Master Patient Index, refer to the Sun Patient Master Index Configuration Options.
