Alias Processing

Sun Master Patient Index provides alias name processing in the form of custom plug-ins to help find or match patient records in cases where the patient’s name has changed or a nickname is used. In the default configuration, a name is added to a patient’s alias list when a maiden name is added or updated and when a patient’s first, last, or middle name is modified. Searches can be performed against a patient’s primary and alias names, providing broad search capabilities and improving the chance of finding a match.
