Configuration
Configuring the CP 50, CP 150, and CP 200 patient-match criteria
(resolving patients)
When a test is imported into the CardioPerfect database, the patient data submitted with
the test may or may not match patient data already stored in the database. The software
tries to match, or resolve, the incoming data against the stored data. Tests are entered
either for an existing patient or for a new patient, depending on the patient-match criteria.
MRN (medical record number) is a unique piece of text that identifies a patient. It is
usually a number, but it sometimes includes other information, such as social security
number or last name.
If the criteria are only partially satisfied, a suspect record may be created (.SUSPECT is
appended to the MRN).
The file named CPWS.Operations.CPWSImportTest provides a method of inserting a test
into the database. If the test already exists, it is replaced with the new test. Either
the patient indicated in the test is matched to a patient already in the database, or a new
patient is created. The criteria are controlled by the PatientMatchCriteria appSetting in
App.config (which compiles into CPWS.Service.exe.config).
