Viewing a Merge History Tree on the Patient EDM

The master index application tracks all merges performed against each patient profile in the database. You can view a history of merges that affect a specific patient profile and view each EUID that was merged to form the final merge result profile. The merge history appears in a tree structure in the left portion of the Merge History page, showing each pair of profiles that were merged under the displayed patient profile. In the right portion of the page, transaction details appear for the EUID that is highlighted in the merge history tree.
