United Way (TomJ)
Concerned about deduplication to avoid fraud. Deduplication is contracted out to another entity. 2 methods: avoid killing patients, avoid fraud. Carmen at ONC working on patient matching.
Issues:
Dr Tom: Gov mandate to share medical records. Lots of duplication of records that aren’t exactly in synch.
Dr Tom: Healthcare is more disciplined due to potential harm to person.
TomJ: Stochastic, probabilistic problem. Isn’t always precise. Doesn’t need to be precise.
