The master patient index (MPI) saves work because vital information can be obtained from the database rather than rekeyed with each client visit
This decreases the possibility of making a mistake and eliminates the inadvertent creation of duplicate records. Which of the following are key features of an effective MPI? Select all that apply. 1. It is flexible enough to allow inclusion of additional identification.
2. It facilitates the evaluation of client care.
3. It locates records in real time for timely retrieval of information.
4. It is easily reconfigured to accommodate network changes.
5. It can grow to fit an organization of any size.
