Check and Merge Duplicate Patients

Back to training

Use Match Existing Record to resolve duplicate patients and preserve current co-payment details.

When to use

Use Match Existing Record when a newly submitted form belongs to a patient who already has an Active clinic record. This is especially important when co-payment details were added in Stripe and need to be carried into the existing clinic record.

Steps and outcome

  1. 1

    Open patient in Patient Form In-tray.

  2. 2

    In Match Existing Record, search by given name or last name.

  3. 3

    Select the matching record from dropdown and verify date of birth.

  4. 4

    Copy newer contact details and concession status where needed.

  5. 5

    Select Save Changes, or Save and Create Order.

  6. 6

    On save, the newer co-payment method from the left-side form record transfers to the matched existing patient record.
