Frequently Asked Questions
How does Rosette improve patient identification?
Rosette makes the most common challenges of accurate patient identification (missing data, misspellings, and non-Latin names, etc.) irrelevant by returning results that are semantically or phonetically similar to the search terms instead of only exact matches.
What are Rosette’s patient identifiers?
Rosette's fuzzy matching identifies related names including culture-unique variations, nicknames, misspellings, names with missing or out of order components, semantically or phonetically similar names, and translations of multilingual names. It can also be used in conjunction with other search fields, such as date of birth, address, or social security number.
What are the risks of failed patient identification?
Failing to properly identify and connect patient records can result in the creation of costly duplicate records, failure to accommodate patients' known allergies or medication, or the wrongful disclosure of patients' protected health information.
How does name matching prevent HIPAA violations?
HIPPA violations are extremely costly for healthcare providers both in terms of monetary fines and reputation damage. Intelligent name matching ensures that staff finds the correct patient record on the first try, preventing the accidental disclosure of PHI to the wrong party.[1]
