[Feature Request] Patient $merge process
Hello All, Is there any plans for implementing patient Merge process.
https://www.hl7.org/fhir/patient.html#merge
Patient Merge/split is one of the frequently happening issue with HealthCare.
-
John Smith’s record is created in the system with IOI id 12345 and Patient records get added in FHIR server with FHIR Patient “Resource id” as “abd5t-kiun4-u4li-d3rc”. Questions : Whether the same IOI “12345” is updated in member profile of identity provider for data access enablement via 3rd Party App?
-
Later point of time, some source system sends the John Smith records and a new IOI 67891 is created due to some mismatch in demographic. A new FHIR Patient resource is being added in FHIR Server with FHIR Patient Resource id “kjkjl-iui34-qx3kx-apo98” and associated records are referenced to new FHIR Patient Resource id and updated in FHIR server.
-
System (ETL process) identified that both 12345 and 67891 belongs to same patient and de-duplicate 6789. All the systems are updated to reflect 12345 instead of 67891 except FHIR Server. We would require strategy / process to de-link all the resources from resource id “kjkjl-iui34-qx3kx-apo98” and link to “abd5t-kiun4-u4li-d3rc” and remove the Patient resource with resource id “kjkjl-iui34-qx3kx-apo98”.
Hey! This is currently not on our near-term roadmap. We would be happy to support a contributor building this feature via design reviews and PRs
