Patient Record Deletion

The Patient Record Deletion feature is used when a patient or a patient's guardian has requested that they be removed from the registry.

NOTE: Patient Record Deletion should NOT be used as a deduplication tool. The master record deduplication should be performed using the Master Deduplication application.

To remove a patient from the registry, click the Administration > Patient Management > Patient Record Deletion link. The Patient Record Deletion page opens. Reading the warning message, enter the Master Patient ID, and click Display Patient Record. The patient's information will display in two sections: Identifying Information and Submitting Sites (with details).

Verify that the displayed patient information is the correct patient, then perform one of these actions:

Restore Archived Patient

This feature allows a user to search archived patient records and indicate that a specific patient record should be restored.

Click the Administration > Patient Management > Restore Archived Patient link. The Restore Archived Patient [Search/Restore] page opens. Enter search criteria for the archived patient and click Search. (Use % as a wildcard for multiple characters and _ as a wildcard for a single character.) The search results are displayed in the lower part of the page.

Field	Description
First Name	Enter the first name of the patient to search for.
Last Name	Enter the last name of the patient to search for.
Birthday	Enter the patient's birth date.
Master Patient ID	Enter the patient's Master Patient ID number.

In the Search Results section, click on the arrow button in the Select column for that patient. The Restore Archived Patient [Restore] page opens. Click Restore Archived Patient to begin the patient restoration process. A confirmation message appears at the top of the page stating The selected patient has been restored.

Adopt Patient

This feature is used to enter adopted patients and their historical vaccinations into the Registry. During this process, the current record for the patient (pre-adoption) is deleted from the database and a new record (with the adopted name and address) is created based on the provided information. The patient's vaccinations are recreated as historical immunizations associated with the chosen IRMS and the newly created patient record.

If you select the Allow Re-entry option, the record is not written to the Block Patient database table. Patients recorded in this table cannot be re-entered once deleted. Previously, the default action was to enable the Allow Re-entry option, which allowed the original patient to be re-entered into the Registry. However, the default setting is now set to disable the option, so that the patient cannot be re-entered.

To start the Adopt Patient process, click the Administration > Patient Management > Adopt Patient link. The Adopt Patient page opens. Enter the SIIS Patient ID and click Update. The Adopt Patient page refreshes with the selected patient's information displayed. Update the information as needed, select the Allow Re-entry option if necessary (if the patient's information may need to be re-imported with the same Medical Record Number, etc.), and click Update. The fields and descriptions are as follows:
