6. The importance of not duplicating medical records for the same person
A “duplicate patient record” occurs when a single patient is associated with more than one patient record. Duplicate patient records are often caused by patient names that have complex spellings and/ or variations of a name, data entry input errors by hospital staff, identity sharing among patients, and unenforced admissions quality standards across different locations of a given provider. Just one mistyped digit in al security number, birth date, or address can lead to a duplicate record.
Give a general description of why duplication is bad.

8. Indexes for administering health care information
This resolution is intended to emphasize the importance of accurate identification of individuals contained in a master patient (person) index (MPI) in a healthcare environment.i An MPI may be found at the single electronic system level, facility level, enterprise or health information exchange (HIE) level.ii An accurate MPI, whether in paper or electronic format, may be considered the most important resource in a healthcare setting because it is the link that tracks an individual's activity within an organization and across the continuum of care. Those individuals may be patients, providers, or members of a health plan.
The MPI serves as the foundation for managing an individual's data to ensure identity integrity and to accurately link the individual's information. The MPI serves as an essential component of accurate patient identification and therefore demands active data stewardship, data governance and many collaborative processes. Today's patient centric focus highlights the importance of standards and interoperability in building and maintaining the MPI.
A key to locating and linking records, a complete, accurate MPI/EMPI is a critical part of patient information systems within and across healthcare organizations.

14. Temporary and permanent insertion of loose forms and care reports
Purpose: To ensure that all information is filed accurately and available at the time of patient care services. Policy: All loose reports received are sorted and lined up in strict terminal digit order for filing on first and third shift. Procedure: 1. Locate, in the active file room, the medical record number section of the loose report to be filed in the patient's medical record. 2. Locate the patient’s medical record folder using the medical record number documented on the report using the terminal digit filing system. 3. Verify the patient's name and medical record number by comparing the information on the loose report against the patient identifying information on the folder.
Explain what your clinic does with loose forms and how the forms are inserted.

16. Handling administrative data that a doctor does not need to see
 In the US, there are two kinds of healthcare data - clinical data in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and administrative billing data that is used by payers, researchers, and the government. Billing data is imprecise, but it is a starting point to describe the care given by a doctor or hospital. The only thing that's new in 2009 is that PHRs now enable patients to see the kind of billing data that's been used for 20 years for reimbursement, quality measurement, and population health. Blue Cross of Massachusetts and Medicare (in a few pilot states) share billing data with patients via Google Health, so this is not just a BIDMC implementation. As a society we're likely to see increased data transparency between patients and providers, which will lead to several improvements:

17. Short-term storage for patient files (patient returns in 2 to 3 days)
 Short term  Short term storage is for records that are active, are accessed on a regular basis, and need to be retrieved quickly.  These records are usually stored at the worksite.  Some inactive records (no longer accessed on a regular basis) may be maintained in appropriate on-campus space, such as a storage room, as determined by each Program Center Administrator.   Consideration should be given to space limitations and the physical safety of the records and buildings.  University Archives are not to be used for short-term storage. 
Explain what your facility does for short-term storage.

18. Permanent storage for patient files (patient is not due back soon but is currently under care)
 Permanent  Records that are determined not to have historical or archival value and are mandated for permanent retention should be sent to the State Records Center for storage as soon as they are not needed in proximity to the work site.  (See Archiving, below.)  University Archives is the site for permanent storage of records  that have archival value.
