PHC-Hub always first attempts to identify a patient using values sent in QPD-3. The values submitted in this field can be used to uniquely identify a patient independently of other submitted values. It is recommended to use these values to identify a patient if they are available.
Typical values used in QPD-3.5 are:

If the Tier 1 values are insufficient to determine a match, PHC-Hub uses Tier 2 values to try to determine a match.
Location | Name | Comments |
QPD-4.1 |
Patient Last Name |
Required |
QPD-4.2 |
Patient First Name |
Required |
QPD-5.1 |
Patient Mother's Maiden Name |
Not Required |
QPD-5.2 |
Patient's Date Of Birth |
Not Required. Searches for Guardian First Name using Mother's First Name. |
QPD-6.1 |
|
Required |
Example:
QPD||||SMITH^JOHN|JONES^AMANDA|20150122 |
Should an exact match be made based on Tier 2 values alone, Tier 3 values are not considered. If Tier 2 results in the return of multiple patients, the following values are used to help filter the patients in the attempt to return a singular exact match:
Location | Name | Comments |
QPD-3.1 |
Patient SSN |
QPD-3.5 must be SS |
QPD-3.1 |
Patient Medicaid Number |
QPD-3.5 must be MA |
QPD-3.1 |
Patient Birth File Number |
QPD-3.5 must be BR |
QPD-4.3 |
Patient Middle |
|
QPD-5.1 |
Mother's Maiden Name |
This will search for the guardian last name, using the mother's maiden name. |
QPD-7 |
Patient Gender |
|
QPD-8.1 |
Patient Address |
|
QPD-8.3 |
Patient City |
|
QPD-8.4 |
Patient State |
|
QPD-8.5 |
Patient Zip |
|
QPD-9 |

|
QPD-11 |
Birth Order |
