ADT^A30
ADT/ACK - Merge person information (for backward compatibility only)
Patient Administration
Event A30 has been retained for backward compatibility only. An A30 event was used to merge person information on an MPI. From V 2.3.1 onwards, the A40 (merge patient-patient identifier list) events should be used to merge patient information for a current episode. The “incorrect MRN” identified on the MRG segment (MRG-1 - Prior Patient Identifier List) is to be merged with the “correct MRN” identified on the PID segment (PID-3 - Patient Identifier List). The “incorrect MRN” then no longer exists. All PID data associated with the “correct MRN” are treated as updated information.
The MRNs involved may or may not have active or inactive cases associated with them. Any episode of care that was previously associated with the “incorrect MRN” is now associated with the “correct MRN.” A list of these cases is not provided.
