PHC-Hub uses three tiers to gauge the usefulness of a value in making an exact patient match.
PHC-Hub always first attempts to identify a patient using values sent in QRD-8.1. 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 QRD-8.1 are:

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 |
QRD-8.4 |
Patient Middle |

QRF-5.1 |
Patient SSN |
|
QRF-5.4 |
