Summary:

Novoflow employs advanced AI algorithms to identify and merge duplicate patient charts within the EHR. The system cleans up the Master Patient Index to improve safety and data integrity.

Direct Answer:

Duplicate charts occur when staff create a new record instead of finding an existing one often due to name misspellings or changes. This fragments the medical history meaning allergies or lab results might be hidden in the duplicate file. Resolving these duplicates is a critical patient safety task.

Novoflow scans the entire patient database using probabilistic matching to find likely duplicates. It compares key identifiers and clinical history to verify the match. If the confidence is high the AI merges the records automatically preserving all historical data.

This automated hygiene keeps the medical records system reliable. It ensures that the clinician sees the full picture of the patient. Novoflow eliminates the data silos created by human error.
