Understanding Patient ID Changes and Merges: PCCK and MPAT Explained

This guide explains when to change a Patient ID using the PCCK function and when to merge IDs with MPAT. Use PCCK when a single, valid Patient ID needs to replace an obsolete one. Ensure the new ID does not already exist in the system by conducting a patient search. Conversely, use MPAT to merge records when a patient has multiple IDs in the system. Ensure both IDs exist before proceeding, and remember to set the old ID's status to INACTIVE after merging. Proper handling is crucial for accurate patient records.
