The registration clerk verifies her current address and asks if she is still covered by IVY insurance. Client responds yes, is given a chart with the number 3948JAV04830 on it, and is directed to the physician's exam room. The physician orders a chest x-ray. The client is sent to the radiology department and checks in with the registration desk. The registration clerk verifies her current address and asks if she is still covered by IVY insurance. The client responds yes and is given an order sheet with the number 3948JAV04830 on it. The admitting office for the clinic and the radiology office use different information systems. The process depicted in this scenario illustrates the use of which of the following? 1. Uniform language
2. Master patient index
3. Data dictionary
4. Clinical data repository
2
Rationale: This scenario is an example of the use of the MPI of patient identifiers. Both information systems, though different, used the same global identification number for the client and allowed for client identification at the point of care. The data dictionary defines terminology, the clinical data repository is a database where collective data from all information systems are stored, and many efforts to develop uniform languages are under way in the health care arena.
