Managing Patient Identification in Uganda's Health Facilities : Examining Challenges and Defining Requirements for a National Client Registry
Abstract: Background and Purpose: Managing accuracy to identify any patient is very crucial in ensuring continuity, quality and coordination of their healthcare over time. Patient identification management (PIM) in healthcare is still a challenge in Uganda for both public and private healthcare institutions including insurance companies using different mechanisms to uniquely identify clients. This deters PIM and individual health data linkage across healthcare organizations. An integral part of individual health data linkage and health information exchange (HIE) process across healthcare organizations is verification and/or validation of a client’s identity. This vital service can be provided by an administrative electronic health information system known as a client registry (CR). A CR is a central electronic database that holds patient identifying information and demographics with a mechanism to uniquely identify each of them using select identifying information such as unique identifiers .... https://jhia-online.org/index.php/jhia/article/view/234
