Patient Naming Policy

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.

Capture of Name

I support the adoption of the AHIMA Recommended data elements for capture of individuals names.  Consistent use of the legal name and the AHIMA conventions will improve patient safety and interoperability.

Capture of Patient Names

I support the adoption of the AHIMA recommended data elements for capture in the master patient index as a level playing field for all participants in the healthcare ecosystem.  The AHIMA policy contains practical guidance for the community including capture of naming conventions for multiple births, in-vitro care diagnosing and care delivery and individuals with one name.  The policy can support the capture of individual's names as a patient, insured individual, or clinician receiving a direct secure messaging.  The type of standardization via a national policy has broad ranging positive impacts for patient safety and for efficiencies.
