Abstract

A patient record matching system can calculate commonality measurements for first names in patient records, and dependent on the measurements, and require different amounts of additional information in the records to match before identifying the records as matching to the same person. Optionally, the system can examine differences in birth dates between the records. The differences can be categorized based on the type of differences and then used to determine what types of other matching information must be in the records before the records are identified as matching to the same person. Optionally, the first names in the records can be identified, and additional characters may be examined to determine whether these additional characters match or are different to determine whether the records match to the same person. Optionally, linkages between wholly different names may be identified and used for later record matching.
