How it works
We calculate a weighted confidence score
Name and date of birth carry the highest weight, phone and address contribute less — all combined into one transparent duplicate-confidence score.
Get a review-queue recommendation
The result names which fields matched and routes the pair to the appropriate review priority — it never merges or changes any record.

Frequently asked questions
Does Duplicate Patient merge or delete patient records?
No, never. This tool only calculates a confidence score for a candidate pair and explicitly recommends manual staff review. It has no capability to merge, delete, or modify any record — automatic merging is outside its scope by design.
Can I change how much each field is weighted?
The current version uses fixed weights (name and date of birth weighted highest, phone and address lower) reflecting typical match-confidence practice. If your organization needs different weights, treat this as a starting reference and adjust your internal review criteria accordingly.
Does this access our actual patient database?
No. You manually enter how closely two records match on each field — Duplicate Patient does not connect to any EHR, database, or record system, and no patient data is transmitted or stored.
Is this medical, legal, or a certified record-matching solution?
No. Duplicate Patient is an operational planning aid only. It does not perform real record matching or merging, does not diagnose, and does not store or transmit any real patient data — all calculation happens client-side with no backend. All candidates require authorized staff review before any action.
