Working With the EDM for Sun Master Patient Index

About Phonetic Search Fields on the Patient EDM

The phonetic search fields, located in the Demographics and Address sections of the Advanced Person Lookup (Phonetic) page, allow you to specify search criteria for the patient you want to find. You should make your search as specific as possible. This type of search does not allow wildcard characters.

The Address section consists of fields that are parsed once the search is initiated. Parsed fields are separated into their various components and then standardized before the search is carried out. Parsed fields might include any of the Address Lines 1 through 4 fields, depending on how parsing is configured.
