Comparing Records in one Patient Profile

To compare different components of one patient profile, you must perform a search for that profile and then select it from the results list. The Comparison page contains an EUID tree on each side of the page, both containing the most current version of the profile you are comparing.

    Figure shows one record selected in a search results list.

  3. In the first cell of the results table, click Compare Records.

    The Comparison page appears with SBR information displayed.

  4. To view and compare different types of information, select the type of information you want to view from the EUID trees on both sides of the page (for more information, review the instructions and field descriptions under Viewing Patient Profiles).

    Note –

    If you select different types of information from the two sides, differences are not highlighted (for example, if you view SBR address data on one side and system record address data on the other side; or if you view SBR address data on one side and SBR phone data on the other). However, if you view two different types of addresses the differences are highlighted.

  5. To merge two system records in the displayed patient profile, see Merging System Records on the Patient EDM.
