Changing the assigning authority
A mistake happened and records were assigned the wrong assigning authority name: PID3.4.
Everything else was correct. This resulted in duplicate records. Ex
Record 1: MRN1 has AA1 and clinical data
Record 2: MRN1 has AA2 and the same clinical data as Record 1 + more clinical data that is not in Record 1
I would like to remove Record 2 ensuring that there are no orphan records left.
Should I use a merge transaction? If so, which one? The ones that I have seen expect a different MRN in the MRG segment. These records have the same MRN. What would be the best approach?
Thank you for reading!
Hi Stella, yes you would do a merge. I recommend opening a WRC ticket for this issue, they will help get your problem sorted out.
