  7. Patient Matching – Legislative Strategy Legislative Options/Strategy • Preferred option is dropping prohibition language from 2012 Labor/HHS Appropriations bill • Alternative is a GAO Study to identify technological solutions for achieving a national-level patient identify solution • Request for study requires a letter from a Committee Chair/MOC • GAO has a scheduled queue of topics • Studies generally run 6 months-year for completion • Identifiers are politically sensitive and challenging in the current climate

  8. Patient Matching – Legislative Strategy • Scope of proposed Government Accountability Office (GAO) study on patient-data matching: • Prevalence and costs of patient-data mismatches nation-wide including the costs of correcting these errors • Patient safety risks of NOT having national patient identity solution • Benefits and implications of applying patient identity solutions in healthcare; the impact on privacy, security • Safety of potential national standards, current and near-term available technologies and best practices for assuring patient-data matching

  9. Example: Harris County Texas • 12 years of data • 3.4 million patients in hospital district’s database • 249,213 patients have same first & last name • 76,354 patients share both names with 4 others • 69,807 pairs share both names and birth date • 2,488 patients named Maria Garcia • 231 ‘Maria Garcia’s have the same birth date Source: Houston Chronicle, 4/5/11

  10. Patient Matching Data • Anecdotal information needed • Safety implications of mismatches (experienced, not hypothetical) • Costs if known • Matching methodologies and implementation – how easy/hard was it to implement current solution? • How have you attempted to mitigate human/workflow-related causes of mismatching?
