Patient Naming Policy
I support AHIMA's Patient Naming Policy to decrease the financial burden of duplicate tests that are ordered when patient records cannot be assimilated.

I support AHIMA’s Patient Naming Policy. I feel it will increase the match rate of assimilating patient records and decrease ordering of duplicate tests were we not to have standardized naming and matching processes.

Accurately determining patient identity is critical for patient safety and hospital operations. I support AHIMA's Naming Policy for accurate capture of patient names to reduce duplicates and overlays and support interoperability.

I support AHIMA’s Patient Naming Policy in support of patient safety. Duplicates, overlaps, and overlays not only create a financial burden due to duplicate tests but can also lead to errors that jeopardize the health and safety of patients. The data elements recommended by AHIMA support consistency and quality data. A patient naming policy with these legal name requirements and quality principles protects everyone.

I support AHIMA’s Patient Naming Policy to decrease the financial burden of duplicate tests that are ordered when patient records cannot be assimilated. As a physician, we abide by red rules to ensure proper patient identification and utilizing the AHIMA recommended data elements is a help and appropriate next step to ensure we are communicating consistently.
