Working With the EDM for Sun Master Patient Index

Patient Profile Indicators

In Sun Master Patient Index, a patient profile or system record can have three different statuses: active, inactive, or merged. The Patient EDM uses special characters in the EUID tree to indicate profiles or system records that have a status other than active. The Patient EDM also uses indicators in the EUID tree to denote the type of profile you are viewing when a side-by-side comparison of the same EUID is displayed. For example, when a transaction history is displayed, the previous image of the profile appears in parentheses. Table 1 lists and describes each indicator.

Table 1 Patient Profile Indicators

Indicator 

Status 

No indicator. 

The status of the profile or system record is active. 

Tilde (~)

The status of the profile or system record is inactive. For example, EUID=~1001002135. In addition to the tilde, the EUID appears in fuchsia typeface.

Asterisk (*)

The status of the profile or system record is merged. For example, EUID=*1001002135. In addition to the asterisk, the EUID appears in brown typeface.

Note –

When an asterisk appears next to a profile on the Transaction History Search Results page, it means the transaction history could not be accessed.

Brackets ([])

Brackets indicate that the records displayed are the same version of the same profile. This is used on the Comparison page when comparing different components of the same profile. The EUID on the left appears in brackets. For example, EUID=[1001002135].

Parentheses ( () )

When a transaction or merge history is displayed, the EUID representing the previous version of the displayed profile appears in parentheses. This profile represents the status of the profile before the transaction or merge occurred. For example, EUID=(1001002135).
